Report Launch — Professional Doctorates
Join us for the launch of a new UKCGE/University Alliance publication on professional doctorates (jointly authored by Carolyn Wynne, Jennie Eldridge and Dr Rabia Arshad), and learn about their findings from a recent survey.
Professional doctorates have occupied an important, if at times contested, place within doctoral education over the last 30 years. Despite sustained interest from some universities, employers and professional communities, there has been relatively little sector-level evidence to help us understand their current position, purpose and future potential across the UK and Ireland.
This report provides a valuable contribution to that conversation. Drawing on institutional data and perspectives from across the UK and Irish Higher Education sectors, it offers fresh insight into patterns of provision, recruitment trends, strategic ambitions, barriers to growth and the opportunities that professional doctorates present. It paints a picture of a landscape that is diverse and complex, characterised by uncertainty around funding, positioning and long-term sustainability.
Join us for the launch of this key report and gain insight from the authors on their discoveries.
