for students." Professor Paul Allain, Dean of the Graduate and

modern university, exploring both the challenges and rewards of a
doctoral degree, including: * Contemporary challenges for students

within the academic environment * Time demands, the balance of
academia and paid work, and the uncertainty of academic careers and
how this can impact students' mental health * Academic debates
surrounding the increased importance of technology and open access
* Emphasising diversity with an increased focus on how students,
supervisors and universities can work together to make a more
effective and welcoming academic environment The new edition is
structured so that users can find the section that will help the
