Field of Study:

University allocates places on a first-come, first-served basis, so students are recommended to apply as early as possible.

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.
