  • The Phd and the Degree Structure of South African Higher Education: a Brief and Rough Guide
    The PhD and the degree structure of South African higher education: A brief and rough guide [Presented at the CHET seminar 'Knowledge Production in South African Higher Education' on 23 February 2012] While the PhD has come to be generally known as the highest qualification offered in higher education it by no means always has the same connotation or a universal significance. Depending on the historical trajectory and degree structure of the higher education system concerned the PhD can radically differ in content, status and function. Doctoral qualifications have a long history; significantly, though, the PhD was not always considered to be either the pinnacle or supreme benchmark of higher education. In the Oxbridge tradition of teaching universities, for example, the PhD long had a marginal function and a somewhat dubious status. The increasing prominence of the PhD was closely associated with the rise of the German and American model of the research university since the late 19th century. Even so, it should also be noted that European higher degree systems traditionally differentiated between two types of terminal qualifications: the ‘research doctorate’ as distinct from the (professional) Habilitation in Germany, the doctorandus (drs) as distinct from the doctor (dr) in the Netherlands, the different categories of (research) doctorates in France etc. On closer examination it also transpires that in the US, too, the research PhD or doctoral program is by no means the only trajectory to a terminal higher education qualification.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

  • Experiences of Environmental Professionals in Practice
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at www.emeraldinsight.com/1467-6370.htm Environmental Experiences of environmental professionals professionals in practice Margien Bootsma and Walter Vermeulen Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, 163 Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands Received 6 October 2009 Revised 4 August 2010 Abstract Accepted 15 November 2010 Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the labor market position of environmental science graduates and the core competencies of these environmental professionals related to their working practice. Design/methodology/approach – The authors carried out two surveys amongst alumni of the integrated environmental science program of Utrecht University and their employers. The surveys addressed alumni’s working experiences and employers’ assessment of the core competencies of environmental science graduates. Findings – The surveys indicated that environmental science graduates have a fairly strong position on the labor market. They are employed in a diverse range of functions and working sectors, including consultancy agencies, research institutions, governmental organizations and NGOs. Graduates as well as employers consider a number of generic academic skills (e.g. intellectual qualities, communication skills) as well as discipline specific professional knowledge and practical skills as important competencies for the working practice of environmental scientists. Practical implications – These insights can be used for the improvement of environmental science curricula in order to increase the employability of their graduates. Originality/value – This paper presents data on the labor market position of graduates of “integrated” environmental science programs and provides insights into the core competencies of these graduates. Keywords The Netherlands, Graduates, Competences, Labour market, Sciences Paper type Case study 1.

  • Doctorate 1 Doctorate
    Doctorate 1 Doctorate A doctorate is an academic degree or professional degree that, in most countries, qualifies the holder to teach at the university level in the specific field of his or her degree, or to work in a specific profession. The research doctorate, or the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and its equivalent titles, represents the highest academic qualification. While the structure of U.S. doctoral programs is more formal and complex than in some other systems, the research doctorate is not awarded for the preliminary advanced study that leads to doctoral candidacy, but rather for successfully completing and defending the independent research presented in the form of the doctoral dissertation (thesis). Several first-professional degrees use the term “doctor” in their title, such as the Juris Doctor and the US version of the Doctor of Medicine, but these degrees do not universally contain an independent research component or always require a dissertation (thesis) and should not be confused with PhD degrees or other research doctorates.[1] In fact many universities offer Ph.D followed by a professional doctorate degree or joint Ph.D. with the professional degree (most often Ph.D. work comes sequential to the professional degree): eg. Ph.D. in law after J.D. or equivalent [2][3][4][5] in physical therapy after DPT,[6][7] in pharmacy after DPharm.[8][9] Often such professional degrees are refereed as entry level doctorate program [10][11][12] and Ph.D as postprofessional doctorate. In some countries, the highest degree in a given field is called a terminal degree, although this is by no means universal (the term is not in general use in the UK, for example), practice varies from country to country.

ABSTRACT The transformations, since WW II, of the system of mental health care in the U.S.A., have been described as a movement from exclusion to inclusion. One of the most important changes, the expansion, through patient's rights litigation, of the mental patient's constitutional rights, has had the effect of making traditional exclusionary forms of care in the large state mental hospital ethically unacceptable. The result has been a form of inadvertent inclusion of the mental patient in the community. Because of altered commitment procedures and reduced lengths of stay, the mental patient now spends most of his time in the community. In this -service context, high rates of readmission to public mental hospitals developed into a major public problem. High readmission rates are seen as the result of a mismatch between available services and the chronicity of the patient's disorder.

  • Degrading of Phd's Through the Introduction of Doctoral Schools
    DEGRADING OF PHD’S THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF DOCTORAL SCHOOLS De Graaff, E. Professor Aalborg University Aalborg, Denmark Conference Topic: Curriculum Development Introduction Academia is a hierarchical society. Starting as a student at the bottom of the stairs you do not even know where it might end. Passing the exams you collect points until you are awarded your degree. When I started my study in psychology at the university of Amsterdam in 1970 the titles were a little different. At the end of the first year I got my ‘propaedeuse’ and a few years later I became a ‘kandidaat’ in psychology. At the end of the study I was awarded the academic title of ‘doctorandus’. In other European countries this is about equal to the licentiat, or magister and in the Bologna system it translates into the master degree (and the kandidaat into bachelor). It was explained to me that the meaning of the doctorandus title was literally: ‘one who has to complete his doctorate’. Most graduates, however, were happy to accept this title as the end point of their academic career. Only for those who aspire a career in academia it pays of to gather more and higher titles. My father, who had a doctorate in physics based on a study on thermodynamics, used to tell me he never used his titles, except when dealing with officials who possibly could be impressed. Originally I did not have any ambitions to try and get a doctorate. However, when I got a job as a researcher at the University of Maastricht, with the assignment to develop and test a measure for medical problem solving skills, it appeared natural to turn this research into a PhD project.
