Overview
The structure of the Professional Doctorate is devised to enable you to develop your career while simultaneously studying for a doctoral qualification.
A Museology (Professional Doctorate) takes explicit account of the professional practice-base of the candidate and integrate this as a central knowledge base for an advanced research project.
The Professional Doctorate supports the development of reflective practice that can respond to and influence the complex unpredictable and shifting social and cultural contexts within which museums and their staff operate.
The programme at The University of Manchester introduces students to a range of dynamic and challenging concepts and methods with which to reflect critically and constructively on their professional practice.
The structure of the programme is designed to support people who are embarking on advanced research for the first time and/or who are combining doctoral study with a career. Students join together in a learning environment to investigate the principles of reflective practice, practice-based research and enquiry based learning.
This pedagogical approach enables students' professional context to become their primary research resource. Students will receive individual supervision from an academic supervisor with a specialism related to their field of research as well as opportunities to develop reflective enquiry into practice via group-based learning exercises with other practitioners at two residential courses per year.
Career opportunities
The University has its own dedicated Careers Service that you would have full access to as a student and for two years after you graduate. At Manchester you will have access to a number of opportunities to help support you with your goals for the future.
