Course summary
This DProf is for therapeutic practitioners who wish to extend their expertise by contributing original knowledge in a professional and organisational context, which comes out of experience and practice.
Course overview
Our DProf course recognises the achievements of practitioners in the disciplines of psychological trauma. The DProf facilitates the generation of original knowledge that comes out of experience and practice, and enables a fresh and meaningful contribution to be given to practice-based knowledge and dialogue.
Why study this course with us?
The Centre for Research and Education in Psychological Trauma contains several nationally and internationally recognised researchers among its staff. They input onto the teaching and supervision of research on this DProf course.
There is a vibrant research community at Chester, consisting of both PhD and DProf research students, who meet regularly together, alongside the research staff, to support each other and stimulate new thinking and research ideas.
Teaching methods
Learning takes place in one four-day-long block teaching event and six one-day CPD workshops staggered throughout the year in Phase 1 (at which attendance is mandatory), and one four-day-long block teaching event in Phase 2.
Throughout the course, we will support you in monthly group supervision (one half-day per month) and in individually negotiated supervision sessions. You will have access to the full range of online library facilities.
Assessment
Assessment in Phases 1 and 2 is by means of essays, publishable articles, presentations, and a research proposal. In Phase 3, assessment will be by thesis and viva. Part-time students are expected to give at least 16 hours (part-time) a week to their studies.
Job prospects
This course assists in the development of practitioner-researchers who, with a doctorate and a research reputation, can go on to fulfil therapeutic, academic and management positions in their chosen areas of work.
