A professional in the dock
Article Abstract:
There are currently only a small number of universities in the UK offering professional or taught doctorate courses. Some observers believe that the taught doctorate represents a dilution of the concept of the doctorate, but this approach, which combines teaching with a lengthy dissertation, has in fact proved increasingly popular, especially in business administration, education, psychology and engineering. Taught doctorate students are generally highly motived senior professionals, and would not tolerate low standards.
