Who the training is designed for...
A programme for people in practice providing opportunities for developing sophisticated ways of working, creating exceptional relational achievement. The award of the degree is subject to the presentation of materials used in innovative practice(s), together with a 20,000 to 30,000 word commentary inter-relating the practice(s) to research literature, making a portfolio overall of some 40,000 to 60,000 words (maximum)
The Professional Doctoral Programme is unique, in that it focuses on practice as developed by the participants in the programme, often working together as members of the research school.
The programme is designed to include innovative material in the formulation of novel, maybe daring, practice(s) that create energy and life enhancing "nourishment" for both the practitioner and the situations they work in, as well as for the people they work with. Through the application of reflecting processes within the ongoing conduct of the practice, attention to the crucial details of the practice will grow out of the interests and enthusiasm of the practitioner. This will reflect back into the programme, so that as the practice research develops, so specific methods of working will be created, refined, savoured and shared with others within the programme's research school.
The practice will be innovative, creative and grounded in relation to those who might benefit from the methods used. Ethical reflection will be included as a central part of the evolution in the programme. This will entail broadening and deepening the focus for the practice. The programme will provide for creating and expanding relationships between practice and commentary and theoretical considerations, such that new theoretical commentary and theoretical considerations, such that new theoretical dimensions are fashioned out of the reflection on the developing practice. The practice will make a contribution to the learning of others through the innovative and refined activities in working with others - another aspect of the programme's research school.
The background to the programme is based on the perspective that managers, leaders, consultants and therapists, for example, create excellent practice through engaging with clients, other people at work and others in similar fields who may possess a diversity of practice. At the beginning of the programme participants will form learning contracts with other group members so that, through the engagement with each other, learning is developed and the course of practice is formulated with each other in the research school programme.
Thus participants of the programme draw on each other's resources and knowledge. The groups that are formed will be central to the learning. Course staff will facilitate the learning events and processes together with programme participants. Course staff will be available for coaching, advice, tutoring and sharing in the processes of the programme.
