PhD Meter

Empowering PhD Excellence Across Africa

The PhD Meter is a groundbreaking initiative by Thel's Impact Consulting, dedicated to assessing and enhancing the state of PhD studies in Nigeria and across Africa. Published bi-annually, our comprehensive report gathers invaluable insights directly from current and recently graduated PhD students. Through meticulous surveys and key-person interviews, we compile critical feedback and recommendations to elevate the PhD experience and outcomes.

A Tool for Institutional Advancement

Serving as a robust monitoring and evaluation tool, the PhD Meter helps higher education institutions refine their PhD training models. By aligning with national and global standards for knowledge production, our initiative drives continuous improvement in PhD programs. Our ultimate goal is to bolster the effectiveness of these programs, ensuring they contribute meaningfully to knowledge production and academic excellence.

Regional and Continental Impact

Currently deployed in higher education institutions across Nigeria, the PhD Meter is poised for expansion into other African countries. Our efforts resonate with the visions of the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC), the Association of African Universities (AAU), and the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA). We are committed to fostering a vibrant and productive PhD landscape that supports the continent's academic and socio-economic development
