A Doctoral Degree is at Level 10 on the NFQ. Anyone hoping to enter a doctoral programme should have already achieved an Honours Bachelor Degree. In some cases, a Masters Degree might be required. Usually, those entering a programme like this who only hold an Honours Bachelor Degree initially register for a research Masters Degree or provisional doctoral candidature. Upon successful completion of this initial stage, the candidate acquires full doctoral candidature. Doctoral programmes are between three and four years in duration. ECTS credits can be used in doctoral programmes for the taught elements. A number of various types of doctoral courses now exist, which can include professional and performance/practice-based doctorates. Institutes of Technology, QQI and Universities award the Doctoral Degree.
