The Professional Doctorate is an alternative pathway to a doctorate qualification. It is a rigorous programme of advanced study and research, designed specifically to meet the needs of commerce, industry and professional groups and is the professionally-oriented counterpart to the more theoretical PhD. It enables you to study a specific subject to the same depth as PhD students, but also to apply learning to your professional practice.

 

This is a part-time course, which has been designed so that it can be available to sport, exercise and health professionals from all over the world, to fit with the demands of full-time employment.

• Gain advanced research skills through the completion of a doctoral level programme of research
• Be supervised by staff who have a wealth of experience in research and applied practice in sport, exercise and health science
• Develop advanced ethical, communication, and consultancy competencies in applied sport, exercise and health science practice
