Post Graduate Courses That Award: Higher Doctorate
Level 10 on the NFQ, the Higher Doctorate award largely recognises excellent and distinguished contributions to learning. This qualification is perfect for a learner who wishes to make substantial career progression to advanced levels of academia or research. Because of the nature of the assessment, this award is never based on a provider’s programme and, as such, is not subject to validation. It is, however, assessed by the awarding body for each individual provider. Usually, the learner already holds a first doctorate or equivalent for some period of time prior to becoming a candidate for this course of study. The Irish Higher Doctorate is compatible with the completion of the Bologna Third Cycle. Institutes of Technology, QQI and Universities award the Higher Doctorate.
