Forming the basis for a comparative study of the different traditions, 11 case study chapters include analysis of the regulatory framework; semi-structured interviews with candidates, examiners, and supervisors; and ethnographic observations of the defence. Cases are drawn from universities in Bulgaria, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, the USA, and China. Further chapters analyse comparatively the findings in the case studies and explore crucial themes such as the nature and purpose of the defence, the composition of examining committees, the role of supervisors, and the idea of the defence as ritual and performance. Providing unprecedented levels of detail into a process often perceived as hidden from academic debate, this book will enrich the experience of both new and existing candidates as well as examiners and supervisors, and will be of further interest to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students working on the study of higher education, international and comparative education, and assessment in higher education.  aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 0aDissertations, Academic.959797 7aEDUCATION / General2bisacsh964374 7aEDUCATION / Reference2bisacsh995205 7aEDUCATION / Testing & Measurement2bisacsh9948311 aByram, Michael.1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJbCKYQ6TgXRBBdjfvbcfq9952061 aStoĭcheva, Marii︠a︡.1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjwqYtQ4rHjyD38phcXY8C995207 0aRoutledge research in higher education.965345403Taylor & Francisuhttps://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003495000423OCLC metadata license agreementuhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf  cE-Books  c68001d68001
