About the Book

Beyond the doctoral thesis itself, the most significant factors in the progression of PhD candidature and early academic careers are: the relationships between the researcher and their supervisor(s), the ability to network, and understanding one’s place in the global research arena. Navigating these critical factors and moving from a novice to expert, is a critical undertaking for every PhD candidate and a process that will continue for years following one’s PhD. In this book, scholars from around the world offer practical advice on how to get the most out of one’s doctorate. Readers will get helpful tips on how to sustain healthy and long-lasting relationships with their supervisors, learn how to develop their networks, and understand the important changes impacting the modern PhD candidate.

Review :
This book is gold: it captures so much of what I’ve learnt as a doctoral researcher (and wish I’d known!), and then again as a supervisor. Highly recommended for PhD students, whether contemplating the voyage, or well en route. Equally, supervisors should read this as a reminder of the real person in their care, and the opportunities they can open up, or inadvertently close down. This book will be a wonderful resource and guide for anyone considering a research degree or embarking on one. …Preparation and planning…should be the norm for anyone embarking on such a major project. And this book will provide expert guidance and advice on the key aspects of this planning A great read for those needing to learn about doctoral education and how to survive – and make the most of - the supervision process! The authors offer valuable insights into PhD networking. A great read for those embarking on a PhD! The topic for this book is timely and important. People pursuing a PhD at this time enter the market when universities are more stressed by their external environments, especially financial pressures, than in previous times…there are fewer tenure track jobs and more non-tenure track jobs than in the past. Both potential doctoral students and actual doctoral students need to be aware of these concerns and the book hopefully will cause them to increase their awareness of what a doctoral program is really about. This book brings together education scholars from Australia, Europe, China, Nepal, and the US for nine chapters on how to get the most out of a doctorate. They address selecting a supervisor, setting and adjusting expectations of supervision, and seeking other sources of support; navigating co-supervision, creating or joining a doctoral community, and developing networks; and making the doctorate an international experience, nurturing postgraduate employment, and thriving and surviving.
