Abstract

This paper is an attempt to evaluate the doctoral education in Pakistani universities. The research has two facets of horizontal and vertical coherence of quality. Horizontal coherence of quality refers to external measures for quality of doctoral education in Pakistan by regulatory bodies specifically by Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. On the other hand, the vertical coherence of quality refers to inter-institutional measures of quality including supervisor-candidate relationship, administrative system, academic-research assistance and financial support etc. This study also discusses the set of ten basic principles for doctoral program in European countries based on Bologna Seminar in line with Bologna Declaration in 1999. This research is an implication of this ten point criteria as European Model on doctoral education in Pakistan. After deep comparative analysis of two systems of doctoral education there were a number of pragmatic recommendations introduced to HEC Pakistan, universities and doctoral candidates for making more effective, efficient and shared strategic solutions.
