Doctor of Philosophy [Ph.D] (Social Work)
STEM Course
3 years
Full Time
On Campus
Field of Study:
- The professional doctorate is a part-time doctoral research degree. It is fully equivalent to the PhD, but substantially different from it in that it is strongly professionally oriented, focussing on ÔappliedÕ rather than ÔpureÕ research.
- While the PhD generally prepares candidates for a research-based career, the professional doctorate is a moreÊin-serviceorientated degree, addressing the career needs of practising professionals, particularly those in or who aspire to senior positions within their professions. The linkages between research-based knowledge and its application in a wide range of professional settings are central to this doctorate.
- We offer an integrated professional doctorate scheme within which education, health, social work and social policy professionals engage together in integrated learning for some of the taught modules. This unique inter-professional learning allows you to reflect on what is shared across professional boundaries and what is distinctive to their own occupational traditions.
