Why take this course? The professional doctorate comprises a structured four-year programme with a taught element delivered through a small number of workshops in Portsmouth for the first two years and then two years of supervised research leading to a thesis. Established in 2007, this course offers a framework for criminal justice professionals to reflect on and contribute to practice in their area of work. The emphasis is on developing researching professionals (which is distinct from the more traditional PhD route which aims to develop professional researchers).

Course programme

The cohort environment and workshop structure not only provides support and encouragement but stimulates thought through collaborative working with both academics and practitioners. I have thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the course and whilst it has been challenging, it has been invaluable to my own personal and professional development.
