From Diploma Degree to a Doctor's Degree: Doing a Doctorate with FH Diploma Degree

ABOUT THE BOOK

Pursuing a doctor’s degree is a prestigious, but difficult task. What is often seen as a straightforward pathway from bachelor through master to doctor, can, in reality, have many curves and swerves. One obstacle that may be overcome is the degree from a university of applied sciences as a stepping stone towards a doctoral degree. There is a disbalance between university and university of applied sciences graduates that are pursuing a doctorate, mainly because of the complications associated with the latter. This e-book intends to inform students about their options and ways of applying for a doctoral research program with a FH diploma, explore all admission requirements, and introduce cooperative research colleges as a sustainable model of the future.
