Location of Cardiff University
The linkages between research-based knowledge and its application in a wide range of professional settings are central to this Doctorate.
There are currently three pathways:
* Doctor of Education (EdD)
* Doctor of Health Studies (DHS)
* Doctor of Social Work (DSW)
The Professional Doctorate is a part-time programme which combines eight taught modules and a research thesis.
The taught modules entail three-day blocks of intensive teaching with supervised home-based study. They cover research skills training; generic topics such as evidence-based policy, professions and professionalism, equality and diversity, and public-sector management; and topics which are specialist to each of the pathways.
The research thesis may focus on any approved topic and is individually supervised by academic staff.
