Hi there


I am South African but I live and lecture in the UK. I have a Masters from City University and am starting a "D Litt et Phil" (Doctor of Letters and Philosophy) through distance learning at UNISA (University of South Africa) early next year. The doctoral research will be based on the SA media sector.


In South Africa, the D Litt et Phil is equivalent to a Phd. I have searched the Naric website but I have not been able to find out much information about whether it would be an issue accrediting the D Litt et Phil in the UK. The main reason I decided to go this route was funding. I have not been here long enough to qualify for local Phd rates.


Does anyone have any experience, advice, information about the D Litt et Phil?
