Reviews for Completing Your PhD

'Excellent concept and rationale that fits perfectly with Planning your PhD.' - Jeanne Godfrey, University of Westminster, UK 'I think it will work well, for the reasons given in the proposal. It is aimed at the motivated, research-led student who needs a nudge in the right direction. This reader is likely to be able to recognise his/her need for the book.' - Lucinda Becker, University of Reading, UK 'I would consider this as an essential text on reading lists, as there is nothing I have found out there which meets students' needs in such a friendly, concise manner.' - Ian Taylor, Senior Lecturer, University of Brighton, UK
