About

UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LTD awarded a contract to Careers Research & Advisory Centre (CRAC) Ltd for a study to understand the demand for and characteristics of professional doctorates in English higher education.

The research involved qualitative research with stakeholder representatives and samples from three interlinked interest groups: higher education institutions, students, and employers.

Researchers also worked with HEFCE to collect and evaluate quantitative data on professional doctorates to better understand the profile of this diverse group of students at the national level.

The primary output was a written report to HEFCE, with regular updates on progress and findings.

Results were to feed into the Council’s wider, cross-cutting theme on postgraduate funding and inform work on vocational and technical skills in higher education, including providing evidence for the 2015 Spending Review.

The contract value was AUD 42,600.
