Review: "This book covers the differing kinds of doctorate awards that currently exist and critically discusses issues that arise from the ways in which related forms of doctoral study are organized and assessed. It focuses on doctoral study, in all its forms, in the higher education sector in the United Kingdom, while being contextualized within an international dimension." "Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data, the book focuses on the diversity in doctoral study. It examines the current state of the full range of doctoral awards, describes them, and then critically analyses tensions that exist." "Doctoral Study in Contemporary Higher Education is an essential text for those who manage fund and deliver education at doctoral level."--BOOK JACKET.
