dc.description.abstractThe PhD is an important academic qualification that not only supports innovative and impactful research but also provides structure and standards for the development of researchers. Given that fewer than 50% of PhD graduates are likely to be employed in an academic institution, the focus of the degree is not solely on the development of university-employed academics or researchers. Indeed, PhD programs develop an individual’s research skills and advance learning and/or professional practice that can be applied across a range of sectors. Sport-science PhD graduates, for instance, often work in Olympic or professional sport, private practice, health, government agencies, or other industries. Industry-focused PhD programs will typically occur through cosupervision and codesign of the research among university and nonuniversity organizations. A tension in the management of such programs can be the complex balance between rapidly addressing important industry-relevant research questions or needs and the slower long-term process of developing the researcher. While these objectives can be achieved simultaneously, embedding transferable skills, industry-relevant learning, and end-user engagement into academic curricula within the PhD has its challenges.
