About

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 Health and Social Care program at University of Portsmouth  started in October 2000, and has been highly successful in its delivery to these professionals.

Overview

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 Professional Doctorate in Health and Social Care at University of Portsmouth 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.
