Book Synopsis How the PhD Came to Britain by : Renate Simpson
Download or read book How the PhD Came to Britain written by Renate Simpson and published by Open University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of postgraduate studies and the establishment of the Ph.D. in Britain are discussed. Events leading to the introduction of the Ph.D. degree between 1917 and 1920 are traced, and Germany and America's influence on the acceptance of postgraduate education and research in Britain is addressed. An analysis of the highly developed college system peculiar to the ancient English universities is included to identify factors that delayed the introduction of the Ph.D. in Britain. Individual provincial universities are chronicled, together with Cambridge, London, Scotland, Wales, and Oxford (the first to institute the Ph.D.). In analyzing the political forces at work in the inception of the research degree, attention is directed to the vital role played by the Universities Bureau of the British Empire (predecessor of the Association of Commonwealth Universities) and the pressures exerted by government to persuade the universities to cooperate with each other in providing postgradute courses and degrees. It is concluded that the arrival of the Ph.D. at British universities symbolized the modern era of organized training in research that was conceived and nurtured in Germany and imported and commercialized by America.

Book Synopsis Graduate Education in Government by : George Vernardakis
Download or read book Graduate Education in Government written by George Vernardakis and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1998 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graduate Education in Government presents an empirical study of nine of the best graduate schools for political science degrees in the United States, France and England chosen on the basis of recent surveys and reputation. The author gathered his information through interviews with administrators and faculty at each institution, in an attempt to discover a prevalent pattern for master's and doctoral programs based on the commonalities of the programs. The comparisons were made in terms of program organization, prevalent educational philosophy, admission and selection practices, curricula, graduation requirements, student advising patterns, and factors accounting for their excellence in graduate political science education. Though the author found much in common with all the programs, more similarities occurred between the two European programs, than between the European programs and the United States programs.

Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job. And as the creator of the popular and widely respected advice site The Professor is In, she has helped countless Ph.D.’s turn themselves into stronger applicants and land their dream careers. Now, for the first time ever, Karen has poured all her best advice into a single handy guide that addresses the most important issues facing any Ph.D., including: -When, where, and what to publish -Writing a foolproof grant application -Cultivating references and crafting the perfect CV -Acing the job talk and campus interview -Avoiding the adjunct trap -Making the leap to nonacademic work, when the time is right The Professor Is In addresses all of these issues, and many more.
