Does anyone have any experience with the PhD by publication offerings of several UK schools? Some institutions limit these degree offerings to faculty and staff; others do not specifically impose this limitation. Are such degrees generally accepted? Christopher
Yes Once a PhD (or any doctorate) credential is conferred upon a doctorand by a legitimately constituted academic institution, the said individual is forever a legitimate doctor--no matter what is the work that has been considered in fulfilment of said degree. Kenneth K. A.
CB- Some institutions limit these degree offerings to faculty and staff; others do not specifically impose this limitation. Timmy- CB, KKA & all do have any link or names of some of the Universities that allow non-staff to participate in the P.hD by publications? The ones that I have seen do insist that you must be a staff. Peace, Timmy.

@ Tommy: sure, why not? you could always get a "h.c." degree (= honoris causae) from a university if you have achieved great things in your life (as a politician, businessman, writer, ...) - that´s pretty common. t.
Yes, it is! If one is able to write a worthy research dissertation and defend it, or publish it in scholarly journals, and become recognized, one may be able to submit for PhD by publication, then. Why not! Kenneth K. A.
Ken- If one is able to write a worthy research dissertation and defend it, or publish it in scholarly journals, and become recognized, one may be able to submit for PhD by publication, then. Timmy - That is if one is even given the chance to submit such publications. Most of the schools offering ph.D via this route have already screened out undesirables, by limiting the opportunity to members of staff only. Naturally, Majority of them already have P.G.Degrees. And the other Schools will only accept accomplished professionals. Most of who also have honour degrees also. A quick review of their respective websites will more than confirm this assertion. Peace, Tim.
