Many countries are now responding to the demands of professional people at work by providing funding that engages with the needs of employers and people at work. Universities in many countries have responded by providing a wider range of postgraduate opportunities. In the last fifteen years there has been a steady growth of Professional Doctorates that focus on professional areas of learning. This has led to the development of new learning relationships between higher education and 'work'. Doctorate programmes have emanated from a range of educational practices that are now reshaping themselves towards new epistemologies and ways of thinking about learning.
This international conference seeks to address issues surrounding these new learning relationships and the many ways that higher education, professional associations, businesses and other stakeholders are creating new educational opportunities.
If you are interested in participating in the International Conference on Professional Doctorates and have a paper you wish to present we are inviting contributions that relate to one or more of the Conference themes, please visit the conference website (http://www.ukcge.ac.uk/profdocs) for details.
