This book guides you through doctoral study from the student’s point of view – the challenges, pitfalls, and ups and downs that you’re likely to encounter in the course of your PhD.

Over and above what your supervisors and university may have to offer, Your PhD Companion will help explain all kinds of things that no one ever seems to tell you – and you don’t necessarily know to ask.
