IN keeping with the demands of both postgraduate students as well as of the present-day workplace, a consortium of universities in the United Kingdom has introduced NewRoutePhD – a doctoral degree tailor-made to be relevant and applicable.
Introduced in the UK in September 2001, NewRoutePhD does not aim to replace the traditional doctoral programmes offered by UK universities. Rather, it is a revised programme – an alternative for students not looking for a career in academic research but rather seeking a programme that gives them an edge as professionals.
