Abstract

This chapter reports learning from students participating as peer researchers in a pedagogically focused study. The chapter documents the peer research model used, its challenges, and its successes, to add to the evidence base about the reality of using participatory approaches, specifically with and for students. The chapter details findings from a study about the lived experiences of postgraduate students as they transition into learning at master's level. By exploring experiences qualitatively through the voices of students, lessons about the ways in which these inform lived experiences, enable better understanding of the wider circumstances affecting postgraduate student transitions, and their associated support needs are detailed. This chapter adds to the evidence base around postgraduate student transitions.
