Overview
The professional doctorate (hereafter referred to as PD) is a doctoral programme. It is a learning path focused on (professional) practice that trains highly qualified, research-oriented professionals who 'learn to intervene in complex practices' at level 8 of the European Qualification Framework.
Features
- Technology and Digitalization candidates at HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht learn to develop action knowledge, processes and products for creating and validating interventions in complex practice problems.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- With a PD, a candidate doesn't just deliver knowledge on how to handle, but also delivers change in practice.
- You can demonstrate this change, for example, with a scientific paper, but also with learning or development products or a critical network analysis.
- From a method to increase the access of vulnerable groups to healthcare to, for example, a robot that provides support in a manufacturing process.
- All components, such as demand articulation, networking, a plan for change and the knock-on effect in education, professional practice and society are included as elements in this trajectory.
- Relevant products can be delivered for all these elements, which can be given a place in the portfolio of a PD candidate who thus demonstrates to operate at the highest level of education.
