Professor Trevor Kerry is Professor of Education Leadership at the Centre for Educational Research and Development at Lincoln University (UK) and the university's first Emeritus Professor. His career has spanned spells in primary, secondary, further and higher education, as well as teacher education. He has been a Senior Genral Advisor with a Local Authority and an Ofsted Inspector. He was Professor of Education at the College of Teachers (UK), and its Senior Vice-President and journal editor. He has written nearly 200 journal articles, and published education books with Macmillan, Routledge, Blackwell, Nelson Thornes and Pearson/Longman. He has also published an eco-history text.

'The postgraduate sector of higher education is growing with extraordinary rapidity and vitality but there is little consideration as to its nature. Is it to be an extension of undergraduate education or might it be seen in different ways? Might postgraduate students want to learn in ways that especially recognise their self-reliant capabilities? A merit of this volume is that it opens in an attractive and accessible way a space in which to address these issues. Anyone involved in designing, managing or teaching postgraduate courses will find this volume rewarding.' Ron Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education and Consultant, Institute of Education, University of London, UK
