Professional PhD

Professional Doctorates 

A professional doctorate is a postgraduate degree that combines taught components with independent research in a student’s area of expertise. They offer students the opportunity to develop their career to a doctoral level so they can also make novel contributions to their industry. The use of taught components with independent research ensures they have not only the ability but also the confidence to facilitate change at a corporate level.

The fundamental difference between a PhD and a professional doctorate is that while PhDs teach students how to conduct research to create new knowledge that improves the understanding of a field, a professional doctorate teaches a student how to evaluate, synthesise and apply existing knowledge in novel ways to a field.
