Is undergraduate debt an impediment to postgraduate enrolment in England
Changes to undergraduate student funding arrangements in England have prompted concerns that increased indebtedness will deter graduates from postgraduate study. While it is clear that student debt has increased substantially in recent years, international evidence is equivocal on whether such debt is a deterrent to further study and there is hardly any prior research on this topic in the UK context. Using a large‐scale survey of 2009 and 2012 gr…
Purist or pragmatist? UK doctoral scientists' moral positions on the knowledge economy
Doctoral scientists increasingly forge non-academic careers after completing the doctorate. Governments and industry in advanced economies welcome this trend, since it complements the ‘knowledge economy’ vision that has come to dominate higher education globally. Knowledge economy stakeholders consider doctoral scientists to constitute particularly high-value human capital; primed to contribute to economic growth via the creation and application …
Beyond knowledge and skills: Rethinking the development of professional identity during the STEM doctorate
The science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) doctorate is the established entry qualification for a scientific research career. However, contemporary STEM doctoral graduates assume increasingly diverse professional paths, with many forging non-academic careers. Using the UK as an example, the authors suggest that the STEM PhD fails to adequately prepare students for the complexity of their future professional lives. They argue that a …
Reclaiming creativity in the era of impact: Exploring Ideas About Creative Research in Science and Engineering
Creativity is necessary for doctoral students to gain their degrees and for postdoctoral researchers to distinguish themselves. It is, however, a contested concept – which is troubling given its current prominence within dominant discourses in higher education. On the one hand, universities are expected to populate a knowledge economy with creative researchers. On the other hand, there are concerns that the impact agenda is having a ‘deadening’ e…
