General Syllabus

THE PROFESSIONAL DOCTORATE:
A DIFFERENT TYPE OF RESEARCH DEGREE

Academic Research PhD students and our Professional Doctorate participants earn the ‘Doctor’ title as a result of completing the doctoral dissertation of original research, over a similar time period. At the same time, there are important distinctions between the two types of doctoral programs.

Academic Research PhD students discover new theories and techniques that can potentially solve real-world problems, and focus on publishing their results in an elite set of academic journals and conferences targeted for academic readers.

In contrast, Professional Doctorate participants, who are professionals of substantial standing in their respective fields, apply existing theories and techniques to practical situations, solving real-world challenges in their companies and industries. They also publish their work, and usually target publishing to a broader stakeholder and professionally-oriented community. Professional Doctorate participants deeply integrate academic research knowledge and thinking processes with their professional practice work. An illustration of the difference is shown here.
