Abstract
The present thesis is an attempt of a multifaceted approach to doctoral studies in
general but also in relation to the large production of doctorate degrees in Greece.
The investigated literature identifies the reasons why the decision for doing doctoral
studies is made, the conditions in favor of them, and the reasons opposing them, as
well as the european and international trends for the conduct of doctoral studies.
Similarly, it identifies the employment prospects, which vary depending on the
country the Doctor chooses to live and work in. For this reason, apart from the
bibliographic research, the present thesis conducted a supplementary primary survey
on PhD students and PhD holders of the University of Piraeus through a structured
questionnaire for the collection of more specific data. Bibliographic research has
shown that the decision for doing doctoral studies has depended over time on the
economic activity of the country chosen by the Doctor to live in, while the
employment possibilities depend on the balanced rate of doctoral production, if the
studies were not carried out in countries such as the United States of America and the
United Kingdom which produce specialized scientists. The Greek doctorate holders
work mainly full-time in academia, in a area related to their scientific specialization
and they consider that their earnings are low compared to the effort that they have
made to reach this position. Moreover, the supplementary survey has shown that
Greek PhD holders do have employment prospects in their scientific field, however,
salaries remain at a similar level as before completing the doctoral studies. The reason
for this lies in their desire to be employed in domestic academic institutions where
there is a limited number of academic positions and fewer resources available. Finally,
there are also conflicting elements among the survey responses that demonstrate the
lack of a clear picture of the real needs of the labor market for doctoral studies in
Greece, which, in turn, could be the subject of future research.
