The Professional Doctorate in Occupational Psychology provides a programme for practitioner occupational psychologists to further enhance their theoretical and applied understanding of occupational psychology. This will be achieved by completing supervised research in an ecologically valid context, or through the critical evaluation of a portfolio of evidenced professional practice and development. The programme will develop occupational psychologists’ ability to apply psychological theory to the real world, provide an evidence base for their practice, whilst also reflecting critically upon their own practice and application of psychology. The doctoral research will further enable students to identify innovative solutions to existing work based problems and in turn make an original contribution to the field.
