It reveals the variations and similarities in different academic traditions and investigates the extent to which there are comparable expectations and standards across countries. It suggests that criteria and standards  both written and unwritten  are broadly similar, but shows that there is a need for much more explicitly formulated criteria and standards for an internationalised approach to doctoral assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing on from the 2019 book \u003cem\u003eThe Doctorate as Experience in Europe and Beyond\u003c\/em\u003e, this book will be of great interest to c\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
