Postgraduate research opportunities We offer postgraduate research degree study at Masters (MPhil) or Doctoral (PhD) level, in addition to our Professional Doctorates.

Research degrees (MPhil/PhD)

Professional Doctorates (DBA, DCA, EdD, DTh)

The MPhil/PhD programme (see page 124) principally involves the production of a large-scale piece of written work in the form of a research thesis, on a topic devised by the student in conjunction with a supervisory team. Assessment is based on the quality of the thesis and also on your performance at an oral examination or ‘viva voce’.

We also offer a range of Professional Doctorates (see pages 126-135) including Doctor of Business Administration; Doctor of Creative Arts (Creative Writing); Doctor of Creative Arts (Performing Arts); Doctor of Education; and Doctor of Theology and Practice.

If you are considering embarking on a research degree, you will need to identify the general area in which you would like to work and propose a topic. It is important that the topic is of genuine and compelling interest to you and that you identify an academic supervisor whose research interests closely match the field in which you intend to work.

Professional Doctorates at Winchester combine taught modules with a thesis in a professional setting. In the first instance, prospective applicants are advised to contact the Programme Leader to discuss their proposed doctoral study.

Our global research Here is a flavour of the innovative research we are undertaking to address global challenges and make an impact in today’s world.

USA Professor Jude Davies is a world renowned expert on the American writer Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945).

Since 2012, Professor Davies has been General Editor of the Theodore Dreiser Edition, which publishes scholarly editions and collections of Dreiser’s work, much of it from his personal papers, which are held in the archive at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Born into a large immigrant family in the mid-west of America, Dreiser became a prolific and multifaceted writer whose work crosses boundaries between literature, travel writing, drama, politics, social criticism, and philosophy. Accordingly, the Dreiser Edition publishes authoritative texts of his novels, autobiographies, and travel writing, and also collections of his correspondence and other writing, including his Political Writings (2012).

Professor Davies is currently working on a collection of Dreiser’s writings on literature, theatre and film.

Haiti, Caribbean Dr Hugues Séraphin is particularly interested in tourism development in post-colonial, post-conflict and postdisaster (PCCD) destinations. He works with Dr Benedique Paul from the Université d’Etat d’Haïti in the Caribbean. The goal of Dr Séraphin’s research is to establish the challenges related to tourism development in PCCD destinations, as academic research focusing on these locations is still rather limited. His latest article published in the Journal of Business Research focuses exclusively on logos, which are a potential marketing tool for attracting visitors. He uses the Haitian Destination Marketing Organisation logo as a case study to explain how the choice of colours of a logo can benefit from market research methods.

Finland Professor Maria Uther is a collaborator in a multi-disciplinary research project called ‘Say it Again, Kid – using gaming and speech technology in children’s foreignlanguage learning’, which is funded by the Academy of Finland. She works with Professor Mikko Kurimo from Aalto University (Finland) and Dr Sari Ylinen from the University of Helsinki.

The goal of the project is to develop a speech-functional computer game that facilitates the learning of foreign language pronunciation for children who speak Finnish as their native language. Professor Uther will be assisting with the data collection from native English speakers that will be used within the training game.

South Korea Dr MinHye Lee’s current research focuses on exploring anticonsumption, particularly consumer resistance and activism of the ethical consumer in South Korea. Based on her PhD study – an ethnographic study of BORA, a self-defined ethically conscious consumer group based in South Korea – her research examines the values and practices of members of the group to see how ethical consumption is conceived and performed in various anticonsumption practices. This research contributes to the understanding of a much neglected aspect of the ethical consumer, offering implications to both marketing scholars and public policy makers.

Japan Professor Joyce Goodman was invited by the Japan Women’s History Network to present at the University of Kyoto and Toyama Gakuin University, Tokyo, on the development of transnational research approaches in the history of women’s education. This follows Professor Goodman’s research on the transnational circulations supporting the study in the USA of Kasuya Yoshi – a teacher from Tokyo’s Tsuda College. Kasuya studied her undergraduate education at Wellesley College and a doctorate at Teachers’ College Columbia, and rose to the position of principal at Tsuda College. She also played an important role in the Japanese Federation of University Women.

India Australia

Myanmar Dr Mark Owen and Professor Anna King – from the Winchester Centre of Religion, Reconciliation and Peace – are working with a range of international institutions and religious organisations to explore the potential of religious communities in helping tackle inter-religious tensions and violence, and hate speech directed particularly at Muslim and minority ethnic communities.

In 2016, they undertook conflict assessments in several different parts of Myanmar (Kachin, Meiktila and Rakhine) to help understand the underlying causes of conflict, and are helping to develop a number of peacebuilding and reconciliation initiatives which will run over the next three to four years.

The Boat – a research project led by Professor Andrew Melrose – presents the idea of dangerous immigration of refugees and those often called ‘boat people’ to children and young people.

It seeks to challenge perceptions and preconceived attitudes by introducing them to the humanity of those escaping from adversity. Since the time of Moses people have found it necessary to travel just to survive and this research project sees primary school children engaging with an author and illustrator to contribute to creating a book. Collaboration with a similar project titled The Tampa at the University of Canberra, Australia, resulted in the development of further educational resources, an exhibition and various publications.

The project has received an Arts Council England Award to develop it further. Find out more at the-immigration-boat-story.com

Dr Lucia King is the founder of the research network VisionMix, engaging international artists, film-makers, curators, researchers and scholars. It has a special focus on artists’ moving image, essay film-making and photography from South- and South East Asia. Dr King works closely with VisionMix’s co-founder Professor Rashmi Sawhney of the Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology.

VisionMix’s mission is to curate exhibitions, screenings and conferences; produce publications; and generate professional and educational debate. Our activities encourage collaboration among film professionals and scholars, and multiple audience beneficiaries.

Pre-sessional programmes Pre-sessional programmes give you the head start you need to succeed on your subsequent degree programme – depending on your English language ability you may be on a shorter or longer programme. The weekly timetable covers classes on EAP, as well as lectures and seminars on various subjects delivered by lecturers from different faculties across the University, and

tutorials. This helps you become familiar with the expectations of studying a degree at Winchester. Succeeding on a pre-sessional programme means you are better prepared for your degree studies. Please visit our website for the programme fee.

In-sessional support This support pairs you with a professional language teacher who works with you to help set and achieve your goals, both improving your academic performance as well as developing your abilities in English. You work in conjunction with your language teacher to establish your language needs and develop a plan to support your academic English development. In-sessional support is a student-led service that offers on-task support for your degree programme. This service is free when you enrol at the University as a student.

challenging learning experience for students. They are characterised by innovative, student-centred teaching and learning which develops students’ intellectual skills of analysis, synthesis and critical evaluation. The programme is delivered in a small class size setting allowing students to capitalise on their current and/or prior experience on an individual basis. The integration of theory and practice is important and this is achieved through an innovative blend of stock trading simulations and case studies.

Assessment A variety of methods for assessment are used in order to improve the quality of learning and give students a greater opportunity to demonstrate their true potential. Timely, relevant and helpful feedback is paramount to the assessment process and it aims to foster motivation by identifying strengths and areas for improvement. This also develops the student’s capacity for reflection and self-assessment.

Careers The programme prepares students for a wide range of careers in accountancy and finance within the private and public sectors. Job opportunities include accounting and finance executives, financial advisers and planners, fund managers, investment analysts and stock brokers.

“Working full-time in the sector, I have already been able to directly apply my knowledge from the course to help further my career.

As a part-time student, the passionate lecturers have provided a supportive learning environment where I benefit from their personal approach and thorough feedback.

Real-time trading simulations and real-world case studies enrich the more theoretical aspects of the course.”

Animal Welfare Science, Ethics and Law MSc/PgDip/PgCert Animal Welfare Science, Ethics and Law at Winchester critically reflects upon contemporary uses of animals, and provides the academic skills and expertise needed to protect animals and advance their welfare.

Course overview This course provides a strong grounding in animal welfare science, ethics and law. Students gain the necessary skills to develop a scientifically rigorous assessment of the welfare state of animals in a diverse variety of settings, and master the main ethical theories concerning our relationships with other animals.

In recent years there has been a rapid evolution in the social status of animals.

Cognitive and behavioural studies have revealed previously unknown characteristics in many species which has led to an increasing focus on our

complex, multifaceted relationships with them.

Students learn about the diversity of settings in which animals live or are used, including farming, transportation and slaughter, laboratories, homes, zoos and various other entertainment locales, and about free-ranging animals in natural environments.

All students learn key transferable academic skills – such as the design and conduct of a research project and communication of the results to an academic standard – as well as the use of modern communication channels suited to more general audiences.

E

ntry requirements: Normally a first or second-class Honours degree incorporating a related subject in the life or health sciences or humanities, or professional experience in the area of study (for example, within animal welfare charities, the veterinary profession, or as a Council Animal Welfare Officer).

EDEN RICHARDS

“Taking advantage of the Alumni Scholarship, I was eager to join the supportive, research-active Department of Archaeology. For my dissertation I am conducting a geoarchaeological study of sedimentary deposits from the Middle Palaeolithic to the Last Glacial Maximum, taken from a cave site in Belgium.

The on campus laboratory has been particularly useful for processing sediment and geological samples.

Undertaking this MRes has enhanced my employability and allowed me to apply for academic positions within Europe, where I was shortlisted for a Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher Fellowship.”

Creative and Critical Writing MA/PgDip/PgCert Creative and Critical Writing at Winchester offers students the opportunity to improve their creative writing in a dynamic, supportive environment. The programme is supported by teaching staff who are themselves professional writers.

Course overview Students mostly study twentieth century and contemporary literature, allowing them to explore different styles and genres while gaining a critical foundation for their own writing.

Furthermore, students learn about the publishing world, aiming to understand where their work fits in the constantly changing publishing market. Students have opportunities to meet agents, editors and published writers.

The structure of the programme enables students to focus on one or more genres (for example, fiction, creative non-fiction, scriptwriting or poetry) during the year. Throughout the

programme, students write and workshop their own work while reading a range of twentieth century and/or contemporary texts.

Students begin in the first semester with a module that focuses on contemporary fiction alongside a module that explores the term research and what this means for a writer – this forms a creative and critical foundation for their writing for the rest of the programme. In the second semester students choose from optional modules as well as exploring the literary market through the Publishing Project which provides readings and workshops with writers, agents and editors.

Students also undertake the Independent Study Preparation module which is designed to prepare the students for the rigour of a Creative Writing dissertation, which can be up to 30,000 words in length (for example the first part of a novel, a set of short stories, a portfolio of poetry or a script).

The Dissertation (Independent Study) constitutes nearly 50 per cent of the MA and offers the chance to work on and develop a substantial piece of writing. A supervisor is appointed to the project.

Cultural and Arts Management MA/PgDip/PgCert Cultural and Arts Management at Winchester aims to prepare students to work successfully at management level in artistic and cultural organisations. The programme is relevant to students who already work in the creative industries and are interested in professional development, or those who seek a career in the sector.

Course overview The creative industries are a particular business environment with several specificities, such as the implications of cultural policy and agendas of social inclusion and sustainability. Students’ understanding of management in the creative industries is developed, as the relationship between the business process and the creative process is examined.

Some modules concentrate on the internal environment of artistic and cultural organisations (for example, examining issues of marketing, finance

and strategy) while others focus on the external environment – the context in which artistic and cultural organisations operate, for example with reference to national policies and global trends.

All assignment topics are individually tailored to make sure that every student relates them to their own areas of interest within the cultural industries, from music to painting, from dance to millinery.

Equivalent to a dissertation, the final assignment is a Professional Project.

Students have the opportunity to work

independently on a substantial project on a topic of their choice in the field of cultural and arts management – it could involve organising an exhibition or a tour, starting up a small company or implementing a marketing campaign.

Learning and teaching Modules are delivered through workshops and seminars with presentations (poster and oral), reflexive learning strategies (such as blogs and diaries) and more formal essays. A placement module, based locally or abroad, allows students to gain practical training in the industry. Placements may involve work experience in a

museum, gallery, historic property or archaeological unit/research project.

Assessment Traditional forms of written academic essay underpin most of the assessment, but there is an emphasis on producing industry-standard documentation (such as formal reports) and display material in a variety of media suitable for a range of different audiences. In addition, there is the use of oral and poster presentations which help the student gain confidence in presenting to a range of audiences. The dissertation is an extended piece of work based upon original research, and the student receives full support and guidance from a tutor in undertaking this project. The study skills module Research Methods helps develop the skills needed to undertake this major piece of selfdirected research.

ALICE LATHBURY

“This course greatly appealed to me as a history graduate now working in the library profession – it ties both together in a unique and practical way.

I undertook a digital heritage project in Barbados, which was an incredible chance to gain practical experience within the industry and immerse myself in another culture. I’ve also gained further insight behindthe-scenes through undertaking other work placements applying cultural theory and skills learned in class to the real‑world, and have benefitted from guest lecturers.”

Careers Graduates often work in heritage, museums, galleries, education, outreach, libraries, archives, and archaeological units.

The teaching and learning methods and styles adopted are founded on the principle that learning is an active, collaborative process involving both participant and tutor, and that the subject of that learning is the professional activity of the student.

Assessment Assessments for each module are the equivalent of 4,000 words per 20 credits. Most assignments are in the form of a small-scale research project within a medical educational field of the student’s choice. The course involves a generous amount of independent study,

with support from a supervisor. In the final year, dissertation supervision is provided individually, face-to-face, by phone or email.

Careers Medical education is regarded as a sub-speciality in its own right; increasingly educators require additional professional qualifications. This programme develops and extends the educational practice of its students and can form the basis of a research degree or further training, including progress to EdD within the University.

Modern Liberal Arts MA/PgDip/PgCert Modern Liberal Arts at Winchester offers a different and exciting way for students to plan their studies around their own intellectual interests and questions. The programme is designed for those who, after their first degree, wish to return to higher education without having to commit themselves to a specific subject discipline.

Course overview The Liberal Arts (Latin liberalis, free, and ars, art or principled practice) can claim to be the oldest programme of higher education in Western history. In medieval culture this became formalised as the trivium, with the quadrivium of arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy. Essentially, these subjects laid out the uniform laws of what could be known and achieved in the natural universe. These broad areas of enquiry are better known now as philosophy, the humanities, social science, natural science, and the fine arts.

This programme offers the possibility to explore ideas across the wide range of these intellectual areas. Students decide the content of their studies through discussion with tutor(s) working within the broad range of intellectual areas which constitute Modern Liberal Arts.

For more information about the attendance regulations for this course, please see the Academic Regulations, Policies and Procedures library on the University of Winchester website.

Assessment There is an increased emphasis on formative assessment, particularly in the early stages of module delivery. This enables students to practice and develop certain skills, and receive feedback, which helps support and improve their final summative assignments. The range of assignments are designed to meet individual student’s varying learning

styles and support the development of a range of skills required for practice.

Assessment formats include presentations (individual and group); facilitation of seminars; written assignments (essays, reports and case studies); portfolios; exams (a mixed approach); practical skills assessment; online assessment; and product outputs (academic posters/leaflet).

Practice is assessed through observation and reflection on practice, completion of a portfolio and written assignments.

There are also opportunities for practical skills assessment including experiential learning and presentations.

Careers Graduates may work with any service user or carer group across the profession, ranging from work in the statutory sector for both children and adults through to roles within the voluntary and independent sector.

Writing for Children MA/PgDip/PgCert Writing for Children at Winchester explores the dynamic relationship between creative production and critical awareness of literature for children and young adults. Students develop their writing skills in a challenging and stimulating environment, supported by teaching staff who are published writers and experts in their field.

Course overview This well-established programme strongly encourages students to develop new creative work, to give and receive feedback in weekly workshops and to experiment with new forms, audiences and voices. Students discuss a range of work by established writers and consider the theoretical, social and cultural contexts of contemporary writing for children and young adults.

The Publishing Project is a module in which all students develop a personal writing project to the point of submission for publication, for example the development of a publishing proposal, initial chapters and letter to agent/publisher. Guest agents, editors and writers provide specific insights while the production and publication of a group anthology, Litmus, helps develop editing skills.

All students must complete five core modules and choose one optional module from a selection.

After completion of taught modules, students undertake their independent study with tailored supervisory support

leading to the dissertation – usually an extended piece or pieces of fiction for children amounting to 20,000-30,000 words.

Assessment Modules are assessed by a combination of creative and critical work. Students undertake a dissertation of 20,000-30,000 words (or an appropriate equivalent) as part of their independent study, with full tutorial support. This comprises a creative piece, or pieces, of work for children or young adults in the form of fiction, poetry, script, creative non-fiction or picture books.

Careers Many graduates have gone on to become published writers – some award-winning. These include, most recently: Ally Sherrick, Mark Lowery, Sarah Rubin, Sarah Lean, Meaghan McIsaac and David Owen. Others have careers in teaching, storytelling, publishing and the arts.

GEORGIA BENJAMIN

“This fantastic programme encouraged me to think critically about the children’s literary world. Guided by expert tutors, the course allowed me to totally commit to my writing and work to improve every aspect of it. I’ve produced many written pieces and gained the confidence to accept constructive criticism, as well as deliver it. The Publishing Project module opens the door to the literary community, and is a great opportunity for students to meet agents and authors and discover more about the potential next steps of the writing journey.”

MPhil/PhD The MPhil and PhD at Winchester are two distinct higher degrees, with the MPhil differing from the PhD in terms of the scope of study required and the extent of the original personal contribution to knowledge.

Course overview Students may register for a MPhil or a MPhil/PhD. Subject to satisfactory progress, students must undergo an examination which comprises two inter-related elements – a presentation of written or creative material and a viva voce assessment.

For MPhil registered students, both components must be passed to receive the award. For students registered for a PhD failure in either component may prevent progression and an exit award of MPhil may apply.

Each student’s work is managed in collaboration with a supervisory team, which is led by a Director

of Studies together with a second supervisor(s) and may also include specialist adviser(s), especially in the case of interdisciplinary research. This supervisory team supports the student and oversees the development of the research programme through regular supervision sessions. Alongside the production of the thesis, students undertake research training through the Research Training Programme and by attending appropriate seminars, conferences or other events as advised by their supervisory team. This leads to the production of a thesis or, in the case of candidates in Creative Writing or Creative Practice, the production of creative work supported by contextual materials.

E

ntry requirements: Applicants will normally have a track record of high academic achievement, relevant to the discipline being applied to, demonstrated by a first-class or high upper second-class undergraduate Honours degree and/or a Masters degree (or equivalent) and supported by two academic references. Applicants without a degree in a related discipline must demonstrate relevant experience and engagement with the subject area.

£

Preparation for Research For those students whose research proposal needs further work before embarking on the MPhil/PhD, Preparation for Research is available.

For a one-off fee, students receive up to six supervisory meetings, IT and Library access in order to develop a research proposal.

“My interests lie in regulatory interpretation and implementation frameworks that ensure both compliance and competitive advantage, and how this may benefit wider society. The Winchester DBA has provided me with tools to engage in the ideas, concepts, theories and methods applicable to my area of research. I enjoy putting techniques into practice in my current role as a business analyst, and I’ve developed as a reflective practitioner which has enhanced my professional credibility.”

Careers Various teaching methods are used dependent on the nature of the subject and the size of the group.

These methods include lectures, action learning, peer review, presentations and student-led seminars. A central feature of the weekend programmes is the action learning set discussions focused on professional practice development and progress with the modules. The sets include staff-facilitated discussions where peers offer each other feedback, support and challenge around each other’s work. Further support is offered in the form of a personal advisor who

Doctor of Creative Arts (Creative Writing) MProf/PgDip The Doctor of Creative Arts (Creative Writing) at Winchester is an exciting and innovative response to the needs of writers who wish to push forward, expand and refine their practices.

Course overview This programme provides a space within which practising writers can develop and refine their compositional ability and rigour within the broad paradigm of writing and within advanced, professional practices. We focus on the student’s ability to conceive, realise and critically evaluate the success of her or his original writing. We understand success can be defined in many ways, but we insist every person must settle on his or her own definition of success and be able to defend it.

This means we provide a reflective, creative space, with a focus on advanced, informed, sophisticated creative practice which experiments and innovates. The programme helps each student to further uncover, reveal and discover their originality and to articulate the contribution that original work is making to the larger artistic sphere or the professional environment.

Assessment

• Studio 1: Writing, Research, Creativity, Aesthetics, Innovation • Studio 2: Research and Development • Thesis

Assessment is by a combination of written and documented practical work. The exact balance across these is negotiated with your supervisors in line with the module criteria, and is adapted to each writer’s work, and to each module. Viva voce examinations are required for the Studio 2 module and Thesis.

Thesis Studied over 2 years (full-time) or up to 4 years (part-time) – this is a refinement of the output into work of publishable standards.

Students prepare a portfolio of finished work. In all cases, the research underpinning the portfolio contents must be perceptible within the artistic product in the sense that they must express an original contribution to the field of professional writing. If this is not evident in the artwork, argument can be made for this as part of the portfolio in a range of other forms such as media presentation, a performance, a lecture and supportive writing.

Careers Writers emerge from this doctorate with a refreshed portfolio of work, with strong, savvy, competitive and intelligent documentation and with an enhanced ability to both demonstrate and articulate their work’s originality.

This should improve their ability to justify work in terms of publishing and funding and to market their work to appropriate environments, bringing new perspectives, skills and approaches to other opportunities.

Learning and teaching The first two modules require participants to attend two obligatory intensives per year, during which lectures, seminars and work sharing sessions with supervisors and other students takes place where possible (arrangements may vary to suit individual students’ needs). This is complemented by individual supervisory contact, similar to other doctorates. The thesis is by individual supervision only.

Students engage with a range of activities, focusing on their particular area of interest, but addressing generic skills for research and knowledge exchange. Students work independently with tutorial support towards their eventual thesis, for example by carrying out a pilot study or by developing more advanced skills in data collection and analysis.

Assessment All work in the pre-thesis modules is assessed. Level 7 assignments are given a grade, while Level 8 work is pass/ fail. All assignments are given detailed feedback. In some modules, there is an

Doctor of Theology and Practice MProf/PgDip/PgCert The Doctor of Theology and Practice (DTh) at Winchester provides a structured route for doctoral study based in the student’s own context of ministry or professional practice. It is designed both for people in various kinds of Christian ministry or leadership and for those in other professions who wish to undertake doctoral work connecting theology and religion with their own professional fields.

Course overview The DTh begins with the module Connecting Theology, Religion and Practice, in which students combine the study of practical theology methods and approaches with two other academic areas in theology or religion, and reflect on their practice in their own context in the light of that academic study.

In later modules, students undertake supervised research and practical projects based in their own context on topics negotiated with the programme team. The outcomes of these projects

E

include work worthy of being considered for publication and innovative practice in their field of work. The fourth module is focused on preparing students for their final thesis projects.

Core modules ✝ • Connecting Theology, Religion and Practice • Practical Project and Critical Evaluation • Research Project • Research Proposal • Thesis/Professional Research Module

ntry requirements: Normally a Masters degree in Theology or a related discipline, and active engagement in a relevant context of professional practice.

2. An innovative example of practice (60 credits equivalent) accompanied by a 40,000-45,000 word thesis (240 credits equivalent) reflecting theologically on the practice presented.

Learning and teaching Since the DTh is designed to enable students to reflect on and research their own professional or ministerial contexts, it is only available by part-time study.

Students are expected to have welldeveloped skills of independent learning and research, and the role of tutors is to supervise and advise on students’ work rather than deliver content.

The programme is delivered by distance learning, with relevant study and research resources made available through the University’s Virtual Learning Environment, Canvas, where appropriate. Students’ individual study and research is supported by face-to-face or online tutorials, events in the Department of Theology, Religion and Philosophy (including the annual postgraduate day conference and the research seminar programme) and peer-group interaction through discussion groups and social media.

It is a requirement of the course that all DTh students attend the Annual DTh Study Day in Winchester, normally held in June. This allows you to meet other students on the course.

You will be supported in your learning by academic members of staff in the Department of Theology and Religion.

It may be possible, subject to admission requirements set by the University, for a supervisory team to include the subject expertise of Sarum College staff, with whom the University has a formal agreement in place.

Assessment For the pre-thesis (modular) stage, students produce various forms of assessed work including academic papers, a project report and a research proposal with accompanying literature review. At the end of the programme students are assessed by means of the thesis and an oral (viva voce) examination. There are no written exams.

SHEENA WILLIAMS

“I specifically chose Winchester because of the inclusion of spirituality in its ethos and values. I enjoy academically rigorous study which is grounded in my practice of ministry, and have explored different aspects of ministry through undertaking smaller research projects all of which have helped hone my research skills before a final thesis. The theology I read is filtered through the lens of my professional practice, so in simple terms, this course helps me to be a better parish priest.”

Careers Employers in many professional fields recognise a doctoral qualification as an indicator of high-quality performance and the capacity for leadership in the field. It may therefore lead to opportunities for promotion and access to senior positions.
