The Professional Doctorate is a vehicle for advanced Continuing Professional Development, not a certificate of competence to practice.

The structure incorporates 5 modules spread over 3 Levels. Each Level can be independently award-bearing. All modules are individually tailored to the interests / expertise of the entrant and the needs of their employer or sponsor. All are adapted to the needs of part-time candidates.
