Phd : The Pursuit of Excellence (Old Book)

PhD: The Pursuit of Excellence is an updated edition of So You Want
to Get a PhD. This book aims to assist a final year Master’s student or

a PhD. It provides the reader with an understanding of what a PhD
actually is and what it can do for the holder. The book explains the
structure of the thesis, the process of gathering information and
writing. It includes a new chapter on Research Methodology as well as
the author’s new experiences and knowledge gained during his five-
year tenure as PhD supervisor and one-year tenure as Chairman of the
PhD Committee. There is also a chapter on the seven strategies of
excellence practised by successful PhD students.
