Course Overview

Professional Doctorates are linked intrinsically to your workplace. The DProf provides an excellent framework in which to develop 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 points of entry 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, 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.

You will:

  • Broaden and deepen your understanding of your research topic

  • Achieve work-based observation and evidence to credible robust findings

  • Be provided with a supportive and excellent framework in which to develop issues identified in a clinical or health related environment.

  • Develop skills that are transferable to the real world

  • Benefit from the interaction with a multi-professional team and peer group

General Eligibility

  • A good bachelors degree, normally 2.1 or above, and/or master's degree, with appropriate practice experience.

Part Time Work Details

20 Hours of Work permit weekly for international students.

  • The IELTS score for international applicants is 6.0 (with no less than 5.5 in each component).
