title = "Learning Journeys and Master's literacies: Chinese first-degree students' transitions to postgraduate studies in the UK",
abstract = "This chapter discusses the findings of an interview-based study of the postgraduate learning journeys of eighteen Chinese students enrolled in Master's programmes at a Scottish university in one of three contrasting subject areas: Signal Processing and Communications, Finance and Investment, and Education. The analysis is informed by research both on academic literacies and on student's experiences of learning in higher education, including cross-cultural studies. Four key interwoven facets of Master's literacies in the UK setting are explored: autonomy in learning, acquiring expertise in subject discourses, critical and analytical thinking, and interaction with teachers and students.",
