An ideal course for more experienced consultants and leaders looking to further develop their practice and conceptual framework, our professional doctorate in consulting and leading in organisations also provides an opportunity to undertake scholarly research and contribute to the knowledge base in the field.

About this programme

Students on our doctorate are expected to develop sophistication in their professional practice by undertaking complex consultancy projects under supervision; they become familiar with contemporary thinking in the field and able to apply this to their work and develop advanced academic understanding by the exploration of a research question. Our doctorate students contribute to a growing body of knowledge about organisational consultancy and leadership from a systems-psychodynamic perspective.

Centred on the Tavistock systems-psychodynamic model of organisations, the programme includes taught modules, peer learning, workshops and participation research seminars and conferences, as well as individual supervision. Students also have access to on-line seminars and web based learning provided by the Tavistock Centre and the University of Essex.
