Who are Unconventional Doctorates?

Unconventional Doctorates (part of Unconventional Innovators) is a Dutch start-up whose purpose is to tackle low completion rates among doctoral candidates, particularly those from underrepresented groups, self-funded, or not working in education.

Why are you organising these sessions?

We are planning a series of sessions throughout the year on doctoral participation and completion issues. We want to establish a community of Unconventional Doctorates consisting of candidates operating outside and inside academia and their advocates.

Joining the community is free. As the platform matures, users can access free and premium content, peer groups and on-demand services.

The Mature Student's Guide to Completing a Doctorate - Book

The sessions are based on interview insights and themes contained in s Sinead Hewson's book 'The Mature Student's Guide to Completing a Doctorate' (Routledge 2024) https://www.routledge.com/The-Mature-Students-Guide-to-Completing-a-Doctorate/Hewson/p/book/9781032538006#
