Thinking bigger: The importance of an ambitious doctoral research project

Siddiqui, Nadia; Gorard, Stephen

Abstract

This chapter sets the scene for this book. We present the case for doing ambitious doctoral projects, and provide advice for prospective researchers on making their doctoral journey a worthwhile experience. The chapter includes some fresh perspectives on the role and responsibilities of supervisors, emphasising the importance of having research active supervisors who can play a key role in defining the success of a project and a successful academic or related career.
