What is involved?

What does a Professional Doctorate encompass?

A significant difference in the format of professional doctorates is that there is no necessity for increased subject-specific training as you would already be a subject matter expert with years of experience. ACT’s professional Doctorate involves four stages:

Stage 2 : Complete Study of “Introduction to Research” *
Stage 3 : Complete a Research paper of 10,000 words
Stage 4 : A live online defence in front of a panel

*Through the modules, you will become familiar with the theoretical problems relevant to your professional field and reflect on how they can integrate these into your research project.

During a Professional Doctorate, you need to focus on:

1. Assessing the current state of knowledge in your field
2. Evaluating a real-world problem your industry is facing
3. Understanding various research methods
4. Designing and conducting a research study
5. Expanding the body of industry knowledge through research findings.

Student Reviews

Laura

Full of knowledge and useful information, suggestion for lesson plan and ideas for support learning. The knowledge, as mother and "home" teacher was incomplete, after this course I'm feel more comfortable in these topics.

Catherine Streng

It was hard work but I learned a lot. Because of this it was well worth it and I am well on my way to succeeding in my goal to become an English teacher in Asia. Instead of being scared as I previously was, I am only a little bit nervous now that I have this experience under my belt.

Joseph Cachia

It was a challenge for me as it been a long time since I had done any academic studying but the course was structured well overall as the course progressed I was relating more to what I was doing at school and implementing them and seeing results I could see my self-confidence growing thru the course.

Melissa Laurin

The course was very informative and I really liked the fact that I could do the Work on my own time. That made less pressure and I could do my best work for the assignments.
