This is the third book in the highly successful Doctorates Downunder trilogy published by ACER Press. Beyond Doctorates Downunder is written for candidates in their final year of doctoral study and for doctoral graduates in their first five years after completion. The twenty-seven chapters are clustered around the key steps in finalising the doctoral process: concluding and reflecting, learning from experience, result production, strategic planning, and setting the course for the first five years after graduation. Thirty-three contributors from universities, enterprise, consultancy, government and the professions in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand have produced clear and engaging chapters on how pending and recent doctoral graduates can ensure that they and the community will benefit from their doctorates.
