Quality control

This report is based on a survey conducted in March 2010 aimed at establishing an overview of current trends in practice among UK institutions with respect to addressing issues of confidentiality as they pertain to PhD theses in the UK

This paper seeks to identify the current context within which doctoral level education is being undertaken in the UK and review the kinds of developments that are taking place that affect the quality of that education.

This 2007 report contains analysis and discussion of the responses to a questionnaire distributed on the issue of access given to doctoral examiners’ reports.

The report gives some background to the issue of confidentiality of theses, outlines the nature and scope of the survey and then reports and discusses its findings before setting out some conclusions.

This 2004 report is concerned with the award of a doctorate on the basis of published works submitted by a candidate.

This paper seeks to identify not only the current context within which UK research level education is being developed but also a number of thematic matters which we believe require further consideration by the sector.
