You generate insights that propel professional advancement through research expertise, innovative thinking, analytical reasoning, solution-finding and knowledge application, complemented by strategic and theoretical competencies.
Professional practice encompasses all vocations involving context-driven actions supported by specialized education and an established knowledge base. This program cultivates inventive thinking, enabling you to thoroughly examine, integrate, and refine the fundamental principles, interpretations, and objectives that shape the theoretical aspects of your professional field. The DrPP empowers you to autonomously expand the expertise that shapes your practice-oriented specialization. This focus is demonstrated through an advanced, self-directed project tailored to your specific professional domain.
The DrPP curriculum comprises three level 8 taught modules (120 credits) and an independent research component (300 credits) evaluated through an oral defense. Flexible study options include full-time or part-time enrollment, with delivery methods incorporating in-person attendance, distance learning, or a hybrid approach. The program structure varies depending on your chosen study intensity.
