After spending some time now on the internet there are quite a few. But it's difficult to sort out the right one. Cost vrs credibility/accreditation without signifiant residency is my criteria. I'll keep looking. But you're right. It appears more are offering the PhD by published works. I'll keep looking until I find the right one. Let you know when I do. Thx, G. Dog Thx. for that Duncan.

I'm thinking about taking the same route as I have a large body of material that has been published, etc. I live in the US and have no prior association with Oxford Brookes. Do you think their program is available to me? Cheers, G. Dog Duncan: Congratulations on your Ph.D. A big accomplishment!

As someone about halfway through my own PhD, I have to admit when I read the title I was sceptical at first. But this sounds like a really good idea and an excellent exercise for you. One question – why were the doubts about your arguments previously suppressed? Was this because the previous publications were shorter and more policy-focused so there was less room for nuance? Duncan: Thanks Stephen, the reason for suppressing is simply that when you're out there promoting a new book, you tend to focus more on rebutting the critiques and counterarguments, rather than really absorbing them. Not least because it's too late to change the text by the time you're launching the book! Well done Duncan!

It might not be the 'original McCoy' (i.e. from the university down the hill), but a lot of smart people have studied there! Best regards from another ex alumni of Oxford Brookes.....P.S. will it be of any practical use, you ask? For yourself, with your illustrious track record, that's doubtful....but for many jobs these days, because of 'qualification inflation', it has become a prerequisite to even be able to opt for a post that involves thinking and analysis. The amount of extremely well qualified people you see applying for any kind of post these days is on the one hand gratifying, and on the other quite depressing! Congratulations, Dr. Green…..
