| Abstract: | The major growth of doctoral education in recent decades has attracted attention from policy makers and researchers. In this
article we explore the growth of doctoral education in Australia, its impact on diversity in respect of the doctoral population,
shifts in disciplinary strengths, institutional concentration and award programs. We conclude that there has been both change
and continuity in the provision of doctoral education with extensive variation at the level of practice in what is a reasonably
stable system featuring continuing hierarchical institutional diversification. The limitations of available data and issues
for further research, policy and practice are discussed.
