Synopsis

• How might research degrees develop to improve both research student learning and employability?

This book analyzes the development of research skills training and development and its wide-ranging impact on the UK research degree.

The book examines the politics of skills training and its implications for academic culture as well as providing essential support and advice for practitioners and policy makers through examples of best practice.
