  • Doctor of Health Studies (DHS)
  • Doctor of Social Work (DSW)

(Recruiting for October 2011)

Applications are invited for these part-time research degrees. Professional Doctorates are distinguished from the PhD in both form and rationale: they involve a significant proportion of teaching as well as a smaller research thesis and their aim is to integrate academic and professional knowledge in new ways. Module topics include:

  • Teaching and Learning
  • Health, Medicine and Society
  • Management in Social Care
  • Research Design
  • Research and Evidence-based Policy and Practice 
  • Advanced Social Work Practice

Admission to our Professional Doctorates is in October each year.

Please note that the deadline for the submission of applications is 1 July 2011. Late applications may be considered.
