Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

There are structured PhDs with a taught component. But the whole idea of studying at level 10 is that you make a unique contribution to the body of knowledge. Which can only be achieved through research.

There are also professional doctorates in a number of areas including education and business administration which also have a taught component.

UCC's PhD in Digital Arts & Humanities has a lot of coursework involved, although there is a thesis as well. Probably similar courses in other universities.
