Three aspects of doctoral training 3-D space • Knowledge: Education (Ba-Ma-Dr) • Intellectual abilities: Research (apprentice – independent researcher) • Skills: Labour market/industry (new worker – specialist)
Doctorate • To give evidence of intellectual capabilitythrough research leading to new ideas/ resultswhich are internationally recognised • Original piece of work
Open questions • Who shall deliver PhD? • PhD students – students or researchers? • PhD thesis – should it be compulsory? • The role of introductory courses
Recommendations • Research – not regime-driven, but research culture • Promote European model of PhD • Dublin Descriptors – good starting point, but not sufficient; develop subject-specific guidelines
