This book provides a framework for analysis and reviews the changing landscape of doctoral education across fourteen global case studies before providing conclusions and recommendations for further research and development.
Traditionally, doctoral education was a matter of the talented few being apprenticed to learn how to research from masters in their discipline. The work was conducted in private in spaces far removed from normal teaching or industry activities. The only requirement for academic staff to supervise or to examine candidates was to be research active. Many candidates dropped out during their studies. For those who persisted, their doctoral research could take years to complete, and most graduates went on to academic careers. But in recent decades, several changes have transformed doctoral education almost beyond recognition. The chapters in this book present an analysis of graduate and doctoral education globally aligned with current developments and research, provide an overall framework for the discussion at the international level of changes in doctoral education, examine how changes have been manifested in a sample of case studies of major doctoral providers from across the globe, and offer conclusions about the changing graduate and doctoral landscape with suggestions for future research.
This volume will be of interest to all those engaged in doctoral education, including doctoral candidates, their supervisors, and deans and administrators of graduate research. It was originally published as a special issue of Innovations in Education and Teaching International.

Previous studies have shown that the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on higher education systems and student learning globally. However, despite this, many countries experienced an increase in doctoral enrolment in 2020, which has raised concerns about the quality of admission and the motivation of doctoral candidates during the pandemic. This article aims to ...

Functional literacy—the ability to apply reading, mathematical, and scientific knowledge in authentic contexts as operationalized by the PISA framework—is a key predictor of educational attainment, labour-market outcomes, and economic growth. Despite extensive behavioral-genetic research on cognitive ability, the heritability of competency-based literacy measures remains largely unexamined, particularly outside Western populations. The present study addresses this ...

Menstrual health serves as a critical litmus test for state intervention in contexts where women’s bodily experiences are historically shaped by stigma, cultural taboos, and structural violence. Drawing on Joseph Gusfield’s theory of social problems, this review traces the moral passage of menstruation in Ghana (1992–2025) from a privately managed, stigmatized phenomenon to a matter ...

The literature on doctoral students’ experience rarely examines the importance of thesis topic characteristics, even though this is one of the central decisions both at the start and throughout the doctoral journey. Although studies examine how students choose their thesis topics, there is little research on how different topic characteristics are linked to doctoral experience ...

As doctoral education persistently faces low completion rates and growing diversification of the student body, universities increasingly seek predictors of doctoral success at the admissions stage. Prior research experience is often associated with timely publication output and degree completion, yet it's unknown how this pre-doctoral research experience translates into differential experiences during the PhD journey. ...
