In this workshop we will discuss the findings from a project commissioned by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) which explored the provision of Professional Doctorate programmes in English higher education institutions. The research was conducted by CRAC with Dr Carol Robinson, University of Brighton, who will present the findings and facilitate the workshop with colleagues from Middlesex. The day will also include discussion groups.

We will consider appropriate ways forward for HEIs running Professional Doctorate programmes, for example:

  • the issues concerning impact that arose from the data, how this may be significant for curriculum development;
  • the next Research Excellence Framework in the UK or research evaluation exercises that take place internationally and how professional doctorates demonstrate their impact factor;
  • any policy implications for Professional Doctorates;
  • other points raised by delegates in the workshop.
