Review of 'How to get a PhD' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The book is a very short read. The latter half of the book is aimed at supervisors and the university, so not relevant to the student. The book is very useful since it tackles the big problems of the student-supervisor relationship head on. A lot of the tips are also real world and informal. However, the book is a bit skewed towards the UK doctoral process, though it never hurts the reading.
