Name C 4.4-5 The professional doctorate: a response to 21st century requirements for European Higher Education?
Description Author: Heather Eggins

Professional doctorates are developing in a number of European countries in response to pressure to provide high level skills for the labour market. This article looks at these developments and the place of the professional doctorate in the ongoing development of doctoral education as part of the Bologna process. The article covers issues of definition, provides a short overview of the history and current range of professional doctorates, and looks at their recent development in a variety of European higher education systems. The overall potential of the professional doctorate in assisting Europe to compete effectively in the global world of knowledge-driven technology is discussed, concluding that the professional doctorate is arguably one of the routes whereby this can be achieved.
