Updates from III cycle WG Meeting of the structural reform WG Brussels, 25 sept 2013 Marzia Foroni

Task 1 - stocktaking PhD program is training to do research through research and the research component of the second cycle should also be increased; There is a growing number of Doctoral graduates for whom the available evidence points to a sustained labour market premium; At the basis of a successful Doctoral program there is a strong supervision activity and reliable assessment methods. The new organisational models and the diversification of competencies at Doctoral level imply a change in the supervising role and in the composition of the supervising team; Improving supervisors’ contribution is a process that should involve them in the first place; Interdisciplinarity and transversal skills are means to open new research fields and technologies. Doctoral candidates should take advantage of them, even if differences exist depending on the kind of PhD programme chosen; Recognition of interdiscplinarity in the academic world should be increased; Critical mass, internationalization, employability are considered important aspects of a successful programme; Taught courses, structured doctoral training and Doctoral schools are considered useful for employability;

Task 2 – mapping diversity There are several kinds of Doctoral programs, including professional PhD, industrial PhD, international PhD; Training modules during the Doctoral program and the duration of doctoral programmes seem very diversified and rarely corresponds to formal provisions. There are diversified interpretations on the status of doctoral candidates (students/employees); There are several kinds of programmes with a second cycle degree admission requirement which are not sufficently cosidered. In depth analysis on possible connecting pathways and on their recognition is ongoing (UNESCO mapping initiative);

Task 4 - QA There is a widespread support for the implementation of Salzburg Recommendations and for the Principles for Innovative Doctoral training all over Europe; There is an increasing diversity in types of Doctoral programmes offered; Doctoral training is becoming a consistent part of institutional strategies, with the identification of ad hoc management structures (such as Doctoral/Graduate Schools) for the Doctoral programmes offered; Given the principle that a Doctoral programme is a training to do research based on original research, new elements are increasingly characterising them such as: structured training activities, organised mobility periods, attention given to transversal skills, and to employability outside academia, interdisciplinarity; New expectations are arising on the role and support provided by supervisors and institutions (through Doctoral/ Graduate Schools); Internal and external QA processes and procedures should always aim at quality enhancement and attention should be paid to avoid excessive burdening and the perception of “burocratisation” over HEIs; The different national systems and programmes offered across the EHEA are very varied and this diversification should be considered as a richness of the EHEA and should be kept

Task 4 - QA Set of ideas for ESG revision Reference to Salzburg II, Principles and Bergen Communiquè; Attention to language; Internal QA: coherence between teaching/learning and research strategies and QA procedures, use of learning/training outcomes, attention to central element for a PhD programme (supervision, existence of a scientific committee, recognition of mobility, involvement of candidate in QA, assessment procedures) External QA: encourage synergies between QA agencies for teaching and for research, ensure that SalzburgII, Principles and Bergen Comminuquè are taken into account in internal QA; Presentation at BFUG

Task 5 - transparency Main transparency tools considered: QFs (see Task 2), further possible analisys on the use of sectoral framework for programme development; Diploma Supplement: task force in the group to analyse in detail the template of DS and propose changes to make the guidelines for compilation of it suitable for the Doctoral programmes; ECTS: support a “candidate centred” planning and to support the provision of relevant information, presence of taught courses and structured programmes. Data bases and Programme presentation: definition of a common format to present information about programmes.

Task 5 - transparency Set of ideas for ECTS revision: Use of ECTS to describe the workload to achieve expected outcomes at the end of specific training/learning activities and transparency of assessment methods; Recognition of mobility Monitoring the distribution of the workload for the candidate between different activities Certification of competencies for drop-out candidate. The aim is to support with guidelines the HE system are already implementing ECTS (or are in the process to) but NOT to recommend their use in Doctoral studies.

Task 6 – internationalisation and mobility Internationalization is considered an important aspect of a successful Doctoral programme; Mobility enhances employability and career prospects if realized inside an institutional framework and embedded in the Doctoral programme; There is lack of reliable data on Doctoral candidate mobility and countries of the EHEA should define a common standard to map international mobility of their Doctoral candidates; Ministers should confirm their commitment to eliminating existing barriers to the award of joint and double degrees and the establishment of joint doctoral programmes; More discussions on balanced mobility and tools for internationalisation will take place at the next meeting in Madrid (22 nd and 23 rd October) in a joint session with M&I WG

Task 7 - employability Diversified Doctoral program and diversification of skills (Communication, negotiation, management) increase employability of PhD Graduate; Potential employers are not always aware of the skills of a PhD holder in term of flexibility and ability of approaching complex problems; Critical mass and employability are an important aspects of a successful PhD programme; Taught courses, structured doctoral training, Doctoral schools are useful for employability; Mobility enhances employability and career prospects if realized inside an institutional framework and embedded in the Doctoral programme More discussion to take place at the WG meeting in Madrid

Task 3 and task 8 – link between 2 and 3 cycle, funding Reflection is starting... Main concepts: Analysis of «honour courses» and graduate schools; Good practices for RPL; How to increase the research dimension in the second cycle; How to improve funding management for Doctoral studies Incentives to reforms Is there enough money put into Doctoral studies?

Task «AOB» Definition of rights and duties of the doctoral candidate Definition of the reporting methodology: not all of our tasks fall under SWG, report specific on the III cycle? Proposals and contributions to the development of the stocktaking questionnaire
