Sinossi

The second edition of this very popular book will help students to develop the skills they need to make the transition from undergraduate to postgraduate thinking, researching and writing. It has been comprehensively updated to include the latest research publications and policy documents. The authors consider the characteristics, expectations and requirements of Master’s level study and examine key topics such as:
  • Critical thinking
  • Developing independent study skills
  • Finding and using literature
  • Applying postgraduate skills in the workplace
  • Writing at Master’s level
  • How to get published.
The book is free of jargon and easy to use, with clearly defined learning goals. Questions and reflective activities support independent learning and enquiry, and suggestions for further reading are included at the end of each chapter.
Study Skills for Master’s Level Students is ideal for independent study or for use by lecturers in workshop settings.
