Your Guide to Successful Postgraduate Study

About this book

The leap between the undergrad and postgrad can sometimes come as a surprise, especially if you?ve been out of education for a while.  Postgraduate study involves applying skills and knowledge in a more sophisticated and advanced way than was required during your degree. 

Your Guide to Successful Postgraduate Study demystifies some of the expectations of post-grad study and outlines tools and strategies for developing skills that will improve your work throughout the whole of your post-graduate course.  

This book advises you on how to:

  • decide what to read, and how best to read it
  • produce engaging outputs in writing or speaking that are convincing and engaging
  • pursue academic arguments and show evidence of research/reading 
  • maximize your employability after graduation.

Get ahead of the game and equip yourself with the skills needed to supercharge your postgraduate work!  

The Student Success series are essential guides for students of all levels. From how to think critically and write great essays to planning your dream career, the Student Success series helps you study smarter and get the best from your time at university. Visit the SAGE Study Skills hub for tips and resources for study success!
