On Campus

This degree enables professionals to study several issues and encourages writing for different kinds of audiences (for example for work settings, for parents, for journals and newsletters and for academic publishers), instead of focusing on one issue culminating in one thesis. Candidates submit a portfolio of work that includes a dissertation. This professional doctorate can be undertaken off campus. Support is available on campus, however, and students will be encouraged to participate in the University’s research programs. This program involves: identifying a research topic (a theoretical or practical issue of educational significance); designing and carrying out a research project to investigate that issue, and writing a substantial thesis that discusses relevant literature, the perspective and methodology adopted in the research, and the findings and significance of the research. Applicants need to discuss their proposed research topic with an appropriate research supervisor. An Online delivery mode is also offered by this program.
