Study Skills for Master's Level Students will help students to develop the skills they need to make the transition from undergraduate to postgraduate thinking, researching and writing.

The second edition of this very popular book 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.

Industry Reviews

Must have. 'Really helpful during my first module of my masters.' Amazon reviewer 'This book is excellent and I wish I had had a chance to read pre my MSc course. It clearly highlights the difference between BSc and Master's level and has several good chapters that students will find more than useful. I particularly like the critical thinking, reflective, reading papers and writing at Master's level, all the areas which often cause student the most concern. The book is easy to read and easy to use. I would recommend it to all post reg students looking to do Master's level education.' Associate Lecturer, Swansea University 'Great book for getting your head around masters study.' Amazon reviewer Very useful. 'Studying at MA level for the 1st time. This is not only easy to read, it is easy to understand. I've bought three books and this is by far the favourite. It has really explained what is required at this level. A great "how to" book.' Amazon reviewer 'This is a very comprehensive text for students commencing MSc studies. This will be useful to inform students what is expected of them and how to achieve their outcomes. Easy to read and well presented.' Programme Leader, University of the West of Scotland
