Professional Doctorate In Health And Social Care Profdoc in University of Portsmouth, UK

Professional Doctorate In Health And Social Care Profdoc in University of Portsmouth

The University of Portsmouth was one of the first institutions to respond to the rapid changes within health and social care by offering a Professional Doctorate in Health and Social Care Disciplines programme. This programme started in October 2000, and has been highly successful in its delivery to these professionals.

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 students to study a specific subject to the same depth as PhD students, but also allows them to apply learning to their professional practice.

This course is recognised internationally as a qualification granted to those who have reached the highest level of professional and academic achievement in their field of endeavour.

We offer 7 health and social care programmes at doctorate level:

• Doctorate in Biomedical Science (DBMS)
• Doctorate in Chiropractic (DChiro)
• Doctorate in Health Science (DHealthSci)
• Doctorate in Medical Imaging (DMedImg)
• Doctorate in Nursing (DNursing)
• Doctorate in Pharmacy (DPharm)
• Doctorate in Social Work (DSW)

These routes are taught together and this enables students in each cohort to benefit from the experience of others and provides a unique inter-professional learning environment.
