The leap between the undergrad and postgrad can sometimes come as a surprise, especially if you've been out of education for a while. Postgraduate study involves applying skills and knowledge in a more sophisticated and advanced way than was required during your degree.

This book advises you on how to:
decide what to read, and how best to read it
produce engaging outputs in writing or speaking that are convincing and engaging
pursue academic arguments and show evidence of research/reading
maximize your employability after graduation.
