‘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.’

‘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.’
