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.

Get ahead of the game and equip yourself with the skills needed to supercharge your postgraduate work!
