The Nordic PhD cover

The Nordic PhD: Surviving and Succeeding is an edited book written for prospective and current doctoral students by a mix of doctoral students and those who have recently completed their doctorates. The premise is simple: if you could go back in time and talk with yourself when you began your studies, what advice would you give? Isn’t hindsight a bonus? If only I knew then what I know now!

The Nordic PhD: Surviving and Succeeding follows editions focused on study in Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, the U.K., U.S., and South Africa. What sets The Nordic PhD: Surviving and Succeeding apart from many others on the market is its down-to-earth and practical approach. Furthermore, its originality also lies in the fact that it is grounded in the context of doctoral studies in the Nordic countries.

"This book provides essential advice for navigating the possibilities and difficulties of doing a PhD in Nordic countries. From understanding the informal work culture to the evolving relationship with one's supervisor, it offers first hand accounts of how to make the most of the Nordic PhD experience." —Prof. Brady Wagoner, Aalborg University
