Aim and Background
For people who would like to understand more about growing trends, and advantages, of generic professional doctorate programmes. The generic Work Based Learning (WBL) Masters/Doctorate in Professional Studies at Middlesex University was validated in 1996. Since that time three further Specialist Validated Pathways (SVPs) within the University in Health, Environment and Risk have been developed; five collaborative SVPs with organisations such as Ashridge Management College and Metanoia Psychotherapy Institute have developed; and there have been over 100 graduates.
On the generic programme at the Institute for Work Based Learning there are currently approximately 200 candidates spread across the world, with significant numbers attached to our overseas centres in Greece, Cyprus, Ireland and Hong Kong. As the numbers increase it is clear that the transdisciplinary, individually negotiated focus of the programme is popular.
