Course summary

Professional Doctorates are linked intrinsically to your workplace. The DProf provides an excellent framework for developing a credible research proposal based on issues identified in a clinical or health-related environment. This course has been developed in collaboration with in-service professionals along the key themes of education for: Personal strategies for practice development Creative decision-making and risk-taking Developing presence, influence and political know-how Evidence-based practice and research There are variable entry points available for applicants who come in via the Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL/APEL) route - there are 3 to 3.5-year routes. For example, if your Master's qualification meets our APEL requirements you can undertake a three-year research project during which you write up a thesis. You will have two supervisors to support your research. We have experts across many disciplines, for example, nursing, counselling, social care, public health, occupational therapy, radiography, and physiotherapy to supervise your own area of expert knowledge. Developing personal support is one of the most important values informing the DProf programme. You might be a mature student having spent lengthy periods in the workplace confidence around writing support is built into the programme.
