This book considers how the main doctoral awarding countries from across the globe examine doctoral degrees. It compares and contrasts their approaches, comments on their robustness, and identifies examples of good practice. The doctorate is the highest award made by universities, but the examination process involved varies considerably in form and structure across the globe. This book studies the similarities and differences systematically on a cross-national basis, providing insights into the ways in which countries have sought to ensure that the awarded degree is comparable in standards. This book presents case studies of examination policies and practices covering 20 countries, which collectively are responsible for nearly 75% of global doctoral awards. Each chapter includes a summary of the key points, and a concluding chapter analyses the case studies from a comparative perspective. This book is written by a distinguished international team of authors who are researchers in doctoral education, and will be of interest to all those engaged in the field particularly policy-makers, graduate deans and programme leaders, supervisors, administrators, examiners, and scholars in the field.

This book provides a framework for analysis and reviews the changing landscape of doctoral education across fourteen global case studies before providing conclusions and recommendations for further research and development. Traditionally, doctoral education was a matter of the talented few being apprenticed to learn how to research from masters in their discipline. The work was conducted in private in spaces far removed from normal teaching or industry activities. The only requirement for academic staff to supervise or to examine candidates was to be research active. Many candidates dropped out during their studies. For those who persisted, their doctoral research could take years to complete, and most graduates went on to academic careers. But in recent decades, several changes have transformed doctoral education almost beyond recognition. The chapters in this book present an analysis of graduate and doctoral education globally aligned with current developments and research, provide an overall framework for the discussion at the international level of changes in doctoral education, examine how changes have been manifested in a sample of case studies of major doctoral providers from across the globe, and offer conclusions about the changing graduate and doctoral landscape with suggestions for future research. This volume will be of interest to all those engaged in doctoral education, including doctoral candidates, their supervisors, and deans and administrators of graduate research. It was originally published as a special issue of Innovations in Education and Teaching International.

Based on the latest research and covering key recent developments in supervisory practice, the third edition of A Handbook for Doctoral Supervisors is designed to support new and established supervisors in reviewing how they may make their supervision practice more effective day to day. This new edition is fully updated and extended to provide guidance on all aspects of the supervisory role, including: Recruitment and selection, including placing greater emphasis on candidate diversity; Establishing and managing research projects, from initial conception through to completion and examination; Relationships with candidates and co-supervisors, and the implementation of an explicit respect agenda in relationships with candidates; Providing personal, professional, and career advice, including monitoring the wellbeing and mental health of doctoral candidates; The implications for supervisors of the rapid adoption of online supervision and examination. With a self-interrogatory style which enables supervisors to reflect upon and, where appropriate, consider how to enhance their practice, this key handbook is a crucial read for those directly involved in doctoral supervision, those who manage supervisors, as well as policy-makers, administrators, and scholars within the field of doctoral education.

This book examines the shift in doctoral co-supervision from traditional hierarchical approaches to team-based models. Authored by international experts in doctoral education, the 14 case studies critically assess co-supervision within distinct institutional and national contexts, and indicate shifts in doctoral education and the rise of co-supervision models. The case studies offer insights into national and institutional policies, mentoring programs, workload distribution, conflict mitigation, and the intricacies of co-supervision, including role management and power dynamics. The book also highlights challenges and proven good practices for academics who are considering or experiencing co-supervision.

This book provides an authoritative overview of the criteria and standards of the doctorate across a wide range of international settings, with a particular focus on the practices of examining. Presenting case studies and research from 13 universities in 13 countries across Africa, Asia, North and South America, Australia, and Europe, the book is based on in-depth interviews and comparative analyses of the PhD examining experience. It reveals the variations and similarities in different academic traditions and investigates the extent to which there are comparable expectations and standards across countries. It suggests that criteria and standards – both written and unwritten – are broadly similar, but shows that there is a need for much more explicitly formulated criteria and standards for an internationalised approach to doctoral assessment. Following on from the 2019 book The Doctorate as Experience in Europe and Beyond, this book will be of great interest to current and potential doctoral examiners, researchers of higher education, and university administrators.

Written in clear, straight-forward language, Examining Doctoral Work considers how the practice of doctoral examination can be improved to ensure that both examiners and students can make the most of the assessment process. This book analyses both good and bad practice to promote fair, thorough and productive examination. With insight into how to prepare for a viva, as well as a consideration of the responsibilities afterwards, the book de-mystifies this crucial part of the doctoral examination process to provide a comprehensive overview of the principles, criteria and processes needed to ensure success. Key points covered include: The different forms doctoral submission can take How examiners are chosen Where to begin when reading a thesis Managing your time as an examiner What makes a ‘good’ doctoral thesis? How to prepare for the viva How to develop a preliminary report The role of the supervisor before, during and after the viva Examiners’ roles and responsibilities Working through agreements and disagreements Feeding back both orally and in writing. Drawing from a mixture of personal experience, existing research and anecdote, this book is ideal reading for anyone new to the world of doctoral examination, or equally those looking to improve their practice.

This volume describes, compares, and analyses the experience of ‘defending’ the doctoral dissertation in a final oral examination in universities and traditions in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and beyond. Forming the basis for a comparative study of the different traditions, 11 case study chapters include analysis of the regulatory framework; semi-structured interviews with candidates, examiners, and supervisors; and ethnographic observations of the defence. Cases are drawn from universities in Bulgaria, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, the USA, and China. Further chapters analyse comparatively the findings in the case studies and explore crucial themes such as the nature and purpose of the defence, the composition of examining committees, the role of supervisors, and the idea of the defence as ritual and performance. Providing unprecedented levels of detail into a process often perceived as hidden from academic debate, this book will enrich the experience of both new and existing candidates as well as examiners and supervisors, and will be of further interest to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students working on the study of higher education, international and comparative education, and assessment in higher education.

In our rapidly globalising world, “the global scholar” is a key concept for reimagining the roles of academics at the nexus of the global and the local. This book critically explores the implications of the concept for understanding postgraduate studies and supervision. It uses three conceptual lenses – “horizon”, “currency” and “trajectory” – to organise the thirteen chapters, concluding with a reflection on the implications of Covid-19 for postgraduate studies and supervision. Authors bring their perspectives on the global scholar from a variety of contexts, including South Africa, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Chile, Germany, Cyprus, Kenya and Israel. They explore issues around policy, research and practice, sharing a concern with the relation between the local and the global, and a passion for advancing postgraduate studies and supervision.

The book explores and analyses, from a variety of conceptual perspectives, the encounters with self and others that professional doctorate programmes in education both necessitate and enable. It documents the ways in which professional identities, bodies of knowledge and practices are thereby challenged, renegotiated and strengthened. It comprises 14 chapters written by academic staff engaged in professional doctorate programmes in education and by professional practitioners who have undertaken doctoral study. The volume is both useful and provocative, offering insights to colleagues who design and deliver EdD programmes in thinking through some crucial conceptual and practical issues. It will also help existing and potential EdD students to assess what they can gain from, and contribute to, doctoral-level study and their professional contexts.
