Globalisation and the accompanying internationalisation of higher education have led to increased mobility of professional and skilled labour. The unit gives an overview of the qualifications and degrees awarded by tertiary institutions with particular emphasis on the degree systems of many different countries. It also shows how countries are moving to embed qualifications in conceptual frameworks – national qualifications frameworks or NQF – to allow linkage of qualifications from different education sectors and to demonstrate the expected learning outcomes to meet the needs of industry and the professions. Further efforts to link qualifications this time to cross national boundaries have occurred with impressive leadership from within Europe. The last two decades have seen significant developments in developing a range of new mechanisms to facilitate the recognition of qualifications and transfer of credit for incomplete qualifications.

  • Professional Doctorates National Qualifications Authority October 2006
    Review of Professional Doctorates National Qualifications Authority October 2006 Introduction This review concerns the range and type of Professional Doctorates offered in Ireland and internationally. It looks at their growth, fields of study, structure of programmes and distinctions between them and the PhD. In Ireland, the UK, and Europe there is increased attention given to doctoral education and to addressing issues of funding, supervision, career progression, quality and standards. Traditionally, there were no explicit national standards or guidelines for doctoral education as a whole but this is now changing. Qualifications descriptors are an example of this. Where qualifications descriptors exist, they do not distinguish between different forms of doctoral qualifications. In general, the Professional Doctorate is treated by universities and governing agencies as a variant of doctoral education but there are some issues that are specific to it, including programme structure, assessment, breadth of learning outcomes, nomenclature, and, in some of the literature, a questioning of the actual level of education involved in some Professional Doctorates. The issues that arise from the review, some of which go beyond national framework of qualifications issues, are: 1. Distinctions between the Professional Doctorate and the PhD 2. Overarching issues concerning doctorates 3. Qualifications Descriptors 4. Level of study 5. Title of award 6. Entry requirements 7. Recognition by a professional body 6. Structure of the Professional Doctorate In view of the existence of different types of doctoral programmes and awards and common issues facing all of them, it would appear that, whilst similar in terms of level of learning outcomes, the different characteristics of PhDs and Professional Doctorates need to be taken into account by the relevant institutions of higher education, awarding bodies and other agencies.
