Professional Doctorate in Education – Asian College of Teachers

Course synopsis

Today’s working or experienced professionals willing to make use of their industry knowledge and expertise to integrate and employ their current knowledge in extraordinary ways specific to their professional field, would benefit from a professional doctorate or a doctorate-level from reputed institutes such as Asian College of Teachers (ACT). The independent research phase in doctorate differentiates professional doctorate from PhD degrees.

A Professional Doctorate recognizes an expert individual’s practical work experience and grasp over areas that include essential topics such as curriculum and instruction, education, educational administration, educational psychology, special education, teaching etc. Therefore, it can be easily understood that the focus of a doctorate is mainly on the application of existing theories and knowledge to one’s area of work to strengthen their professional practice and qualify them for top positions within the industry. It differs from a PhD degree in the concept that here the focus is on developing new ideas, perspectives, and theories thereby adding to the knowledge and understanding of the student in that field.

The Professional Doctorate will help you to carve a specific career path depending on your degree of study. Hence, trainees can gain advanced knowledge in various fields and in many cases, a professional doctorate will qualify for particular leadership roles within their area of expertise after completing their study.

All PD programs pursued from ACT will be conferred by the prestigious international university.
