It is important that new research students prepare themselves by thinking about the nature of research as carefully as they think about the subject of the research.
Too often, students concentrate on the content of what they are doing at the expense of the process, and realise too late that they don’t really understand what is expected of them. Some things to think about:
- How will graduate research differ from your previous academic experience?
- What skills will you require for successful completion?
- How can you acquire the skills that you do not already have, and improve or develop those that you do have?
- What problems commonly occur during graduate research projects and how can you avoid them?
Our preparing for a research degree information will help you prepare with hints and tips for those embarking on higher research.
