Last week saw the launch of the Wales Institute of
Work-Based learning (WIWBL) Doctorate in Professional Practice (DProf) Programme
with the first Residential session at the UWTSD Lampeter campus. This is a part-time
professional doctorate programme that provides experienced individuals in
senior roles with an opportunity to undertake a significant research project situated in
their workplaces.
Our small first student group included students from Wales
and Canada, with tutors mostly from WIWBL and one from the School of Social
Justice and Inclusion. The Founders’
Library was used for teaching and learning – a wonderful, book-lined room with
comfortable leather chairs - a perfect environment for discussing research methodologies
and analysing journal articles! At the end of each day, we continued our
conversations in various eateries in Lampeter town, and I think it’s fair to
say that we all had a thoroughly enjoyable and useful week.
We will meet up again during the next residential in May, when
our current students will conclude their study of initial modules. In October, this
cohort will commence new modules, but we also expect to enroll our second cohort.
There is further information about the programme on the UWTSD website at http://www.uwtsd.ac.uk/courses/professional-doctorates/doctorate-in-professional-practice-dprof/
