“We’ve thought really hard about how we can best support people who are in employment through a doctoral degree. The cohort model allows us to support the students through areas related to their study, such as a literature review or methodology, at a pace that is manageable for them.”
Professor Andrew believes the DHSc is likely to be popular with professionals in the health industry. “People who work in health are passionate about making a positive difference. Some of those people will want to pursue a topic for their study that will make meaningful change and positively affect people’s lives. This programme is a perfect opportunity to do that.”
During the first two years, DHSc students are further supported through attending three workshops per year. These workshops provide students with opportunities to present on their study, receive formative feedback and engage with academic leaders who will discuss key research-related topics.
