Overview
At a Glance
The Professional Doctorate programme of the Royal Veterinary College is part-time distance learning, but also offers the opportunity for face-to-face contact.
Students take between a minimum of four, and a maximum of eight years to complete the course.
The taught component will help you to increase the breadth and depth of your knowledge, as well as providing training in research methodologies and professional skills. Assessment is through in-course assignments and/or examinations. As a member of the RVC's postgraduate student population, you will also be able to attend transferable skills training workshops and research seminars.
Your Professional Doctorate will culminate in an organisation focused study and an organisation focused research project. The study and project will relate to a relevant workplace issue connected to professional practice or directly relevant to the company that is sponsoring you. Most students carry out their research within their workplace/organization.
