Professional Studies program structure
Bachelor’s programs in professional studies can be studied full-time over three years, but most students study on a part-time basis so they can fit their education around existing work commitments. As such, undergraduate degrees can take up to six years to finish.
The classification of your bachelor’s degree will depend on the focus of your studies. If you focus on modules relating to business, language, or art, you’ll generally graduate with a BA degree. On the other hand, science, engineering, and mathematics specializations usually earn you a BSc.
Taking your undergraduate degree in the US means you’ll likely follow the four-year liberal arts model. Before declaring a major in professional studies at the end of your second year, you’ll attend a range of general education classes.
Those looking to further accelerate their careers might consider a master’s degree. To enroll, you must have a bachelor’s degree or several years of professional experience under your belt. MA and MSc courses can be studied full-time over one year, or as a part-time two-year course if you’re a working professional.
Doctorate degrees in professional studies are available for individuals hoping to conduct practice-based research in their organizational context. PhDs typically take four or five years to complete.
Teaching methods depend on the modules you select and the specialized route you follow. However, lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops, evening classes, and placements are common.
Professional studies programs contain countless elective modules, so tailoring your degree to reflect your personal and professional ambitions is simple. However, here are some of the classes that regularly feature in programs:
- Understanding and changing organizational culture
- Leadership skills and qualities
- Critical perspectives in professional studies
- Becoming a professional in the digital age
- Challenges in the contemporary workplace
- Inclusion and diversity
