	Doctorate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Traditionally, the award of a doctorate implies recognition of the candidate as an equal by the university faculty under which he studied.
		The notion of doctorates that are higher than the Ph.D. is one that is rare in the United States, but more established in the U.K., where universities may maintain a notional ranking of the seniority of different doctorates.
		This senior doctorate is known as the Habilitation.

	Doctor of Philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		(higher doctorate in the faculty of philosophy) at the University of St Andrews was discontinued and replaced with the Ph.D. (research doctorate).
		The successful completion of a doctoral program typically takes 3 to 6 years depending upon the specific field of study, prior experience and/or training, and the progress made by the doctoral candidate in his or her studies.
		The doctoral candidate's progress is usually overseen by a thesis advisor, or supervisor, who chairs a thesis committee which supervises the doctoral candidate.

	Doctorate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Traditionally, the award of a doctorate implies recognition of the candidate as an equal by the university faculty under which he or she has studied.
		In the UK, Australia, and some other Commonwealth countries, a distinction is made among research doctorates into junior doctorates (generally awarded after a course of 3-5 years postgraduate research and study and submission of a thesis), and higher doctorates -- awarded on the basis of ~10 years outstanding research, judged through examination of publications.
		In France, the higher doctorate (doctorat d'État) was suppressed and replaced for academic recruitment purposes by the much lighter "habilitation to direct theses".

		Those discussions noted that higher doctorates are quite different from the PhD in that they are awarded on the basis of a substantial body of published work and are usually submitted by candidates who have reached a peak in their professional careers.
		Because higher doctorates are administered by different faculties, there are some marked differences in the relevant rules that relate to qualifications for entry, the material to be submitted as part of the application for enrolment, the committee appointed to advise the Dean and the examination process.
		One source of difficulty with higher doctorates in the past has been the absence of an explicit statement of the purpose of the degree.

	JCU - Handbook for Research Higher Degree Students 2004
		Higher Doctorates are faculty degrees which are awarded to very distinguished, established researchers for original work of distinction which constitutes a substantial contribution to the knowledge and understanding of any branch or branches of learning with which the corresponding faculty is concerned.
		This is the central University committee which oversees the workings of research higher degrees, formulates policy relating to the provision of supervision of the degrees and ratifies the various decision points during research higher degree candidature.
		From the point of view of a research higher degree student, the Head of School is the person who takes responsibility for allowing the enrolment of the student, as this is essentially based upon the availability of resources, human, physical and financial, to allow the research to proceed.

		Doctoral programs themselves have emerged quite recently as stakeholders in educational research and the paper identifies the main foci this emerging research orientation.
		A striking feature of much research and commentary on the nature and purpose of Doctoral programs in Education is its relative blindness to the wider contexts of change within Education faculties and universities, within the teaching profession and education systems, and to the implications of such changes for Doctoral programs.
		When the funding model of Doctoral study moves to a payment on completion mode, part-time students will predictably be much less attractive to institutions than those who can work fulltime on their studies.
