Course Overview
The programme is studied part-time over approximately five years. It comprises two parts, with taught Level 7 modules in Part 1, and a doctoral-level (Level 8) work-based research project in Part 2. The element of reflection on professional practice distinguishes the professional doctorate from the award of a PhD.
Modules
Part One
Candidates will study the following compulsory Level 7 modules:
The following modules will also be studied unless candidates can claim advanced standing (appropriate for those with extensive research methods training, or who have completed a Recognition of Prior Learning module):
Part Two
This element comprises two compulsory Level 8 modules:
Research is focused on workplace practice, enabling advanced practitioners to undertake a doctoral programme whilst also making a significant contribution to their own professional practice as well as their organisation's strategic development.
Assessment
Assessment involves a mix of presentations, portfolio, and written reports and essays, culminating in the 60,000 word work-based research project.
Further Information
The programme is studied part-time via a combination of residential workshops and blended learning supported by a Virtual learning Environment (VLE), and synchronous and asynchronous forms of communication. Typically, there are 2-3 four-day residential workshops per annum, and to date these have been held at the beautiful campus at UWTSD, Lampeter.
The duration of the programme is five years, though in some cases this may be reduced due to advanced standing.
