    This forum has frequently discussed the D Litt et Phil degree granted by UNISA. I recently revisited UNISA's website, and it looks like UNISA has changed its nomenclature and is now granting PhDs (or possibly D Phils). See this link:

    Master's and doctoral qualifications

    Does anyone know anything about this? Just curious.

    They've been doing this for several years. I think they finally figured out that D.Litt et Phil is an oddball degree title that few outside South Africa recognized, that just added to the suspicion of someone earning a degree from a different continent.

    PhD = Doctor of Philosophy
    DPhil = Doctor of Philosophy
