Towards the end of my full-time academic career, during a 2020 Covid lockdown, I submitted my PhD by published work. In this article, I argue that this doctoral route offers academics – whether newbies or gnarled veterans – a precious chance to reflect, achieve and grow.
A doctorate by published work can be approached in two ways. If you don’t have a PhD, it can be researched and written as a prospective thesis, which can enable you to pursue research and journal-article production that map out a coherent path. Or, if you are like me, you can work on a retrospective doctorate, identifying a “golden thread” through which to look back and make sense of your academic career. The academic Susan Smith has written the gospel on this subject, entitled, would you believe, PhD by Published Work – which I heartily recommend.

- Ten platinum rules for PhD supervisors
As Smith suggests, my endeavour in this doctorate aligned with the UK Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education’s 2011 requirement to present a “series of peer-reviewed academic papers, books, citations or other materials that have been published…accompanied by a substantial commentary linking the published work and outlining its coherence and significance”.
So I selected nine of my academic publications – a single-authored chapter in an edited book, single-authored journal articles, co-authored academic articles, co-authored project reports for the Higher Education Academy – plus 10 practitioner publications of mine that supported my case but were not formally included. I argued that together these made an original, significant contribution to scholarship and public knowledge equivalent in scope and esteem to work required for a traditional PhD. Furthermore, I demonstrated my unique input to scholarship in the fields of higher education pedagogy and community development, as well as the sufficiency and coherence of this work and accompanying publications.
The “golden thread” or commentary in my case reflected on a central theme from previous publications, namely to explore and determine the nature and degree of connectedness between HE teaching and learning, and community development theory and practice. Somewhat to my relief, I discovered that my 40-plus-year academic career did, indeed, have some coherence. And the process of looking back bore out Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard’s 1843 contention that life “can only be understood backwards; but must be lived forwards”.
Tried-and-tested advice for a successful academic career
Beyond the career-defining interrogation of a PhD through exploring your own published works, I offer four further career tips that have stood me in good stead.
1. Follow your interests
First, (as far as possible) be true to yourself and follow what interests you, whether in teaching, research, administration or consultancy (rather than where management might push you). An example of this for me was undertaking consultancy work reviewing community development projects and activities. These examples of action research then provided up-to-date case studies to feed into student contact sessions. Of course, there will be horse trading, whereby you might have to give ground to gain some. Such is life.
2. Get the balance right
This links to my second suggestion: try, for example via annual staff appraisals, to work towards your preferred balance of teaching-admin-research-consultancy. For example, I volunteered to look after work-based modules, such as internships, across my department because I came into academia from practice and believed in the value of work experience for undergraduates; and I researched and published on this topic in academic journals and books. To vary the metaphor, seek to steer the ship that is you and your career rather than be bounced by the strong tides of administrative urgency.
3. Be a good colleague
Third, make alliances and friendships with colleagues – seek those with humanity who are not just work dominated or totally driven. As Iain Hay comments in his 2017 book How to Be an Academic Superhero , connect to “good colleagues; be a good colleague…to the best of your abilities, try to help out…The web of obligations is two-sided and you will receive reciprocal favours over time”. I deliberately worked with other national teaching fellows (NTF) at my higher education institution to seek to influence teaching policies and practices, similarly helping applicants to gain an NTF on the basis of climbing a mountain and helping colleagues to make the ascent. It helped others and I felt good in offering a hand.
4. Never stop learning
Finally, keep learning as you proceed (in your academic career); don’t assume you have “arrived” (down that road lie fossilisation and lack of currency). In this vein, I undertook a beginners’ Spanish module, joining in like any other student in the class. As well as giving me words of use when I visited the Alhambra in Granada, it taught me valuable lessons for teaching: how you need to be ever so careful and clear in what you say and how you say it, pause regularly to check that students understand what has just been covered and have time to ask questions.
Oh, and enjoy the ride! Yes, there are downsides to academic life, such as the administrative tail wagging the teaching dog, insecure short-term job contracts…but, equally, I maintain that an academic life can give you so much freedom as well as the ability to travel, write, teach, publicise research findings to improve life and the planet…

Research Funding & Tuition Fees
Studying for a research degree is a uniquely rewarding experience that can change your life as well as your career. Don’t let issues surrounding funding prevent you from studying a research degree, there are many avenues to explore when funding your tuition fees and your living costs whilst you study.
Postgraduate Research Annual Tuition Fees New Students 2023/24 (1)
Please see below for indicative information about the annual tuition fees (1) payable by postgraduate research students.
Click here to download the Postgraduate Research Annual Tuition Fees for new students 2023/24
The fees for the Centre for Islamic Finance are £13,550 per year for all Home/EU/International Full Time students and £6775 per year for all Home/EU/International Part Time students
Writing up students (3)
£300 for all Home/EU and International students in their first writing up year, doubling in each subsequent year
(1) Tuition fees for students admitted under individual or collective collaborative arrangements with external organisations will normally vary from those presented here. Tuition fees may also be supplemented by additional charges or fees as agreed with the student or sponsor.
(2) 'Outside the UK' means that the student spends the majority of their time outside the UK and therefore includes most of those 'split site' and 'distance learning' arrangements where students are primarily or wholly based overseas.
(3) Route A students are not normally eligible for the writing up fee but will usually be charged the annual tuition fee pro rata for any period of registration which exceeds the normal period for this route. Writing-up status must be confirmed in writing by a student's supervisor before any writing-up fee will be sanctioned.
(4) This fee (like any other fee) may be subsidised by the student's Academic Group, resulting in a transfer between the relevant Academic Group budgets.

UK Government PhD Doctoral Loans
The UK government has announced that it will be introducing new research and doctoral loans of up to £25,000 from September 2018. In the House of Commons Briefing Paper ‘Postgraduate loans in England’ (Dec 2017) the following is stated:
Non-means tested loans of up to £25,000 will be available to eligible students under the age of 60 as a contribution towards the costs of completing a doctoral qualification.
Eligible students ordinarily resident in England will be able to take their loan to any UK university with degree awarding powers. Individuals ordinarily resident in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will not be eligible for loans.
The repayment rate for the loans will be 6%. For students also with a masters loan, repayment will be taken through one single postgraduate loan repayment of 6%.
Repayment will be made concurrently with repayment of any undergraduate student loans.
The repayment threshold will be £21,000, which will be frozen until 2021.
