The programme has two stages. During the first stage, which normally takes two years to complete on a part-time basis, you focus on the taught components of the curriculum. Once this is successfully completed, you move to the second stage: the thesis. Normally this takes three years to complete part-time. The programme integrates professional expertise and scholarly inquiry and culminates in doctoral research training and the design of original empirical research that leads to the completion of a doctoral thesis.
The course is designed as a five-year part-time programme (or three years with M-level exemptions), delivered through monthly study days held in Oxford (approx eight per year). In addition there are regular online workshops and discussions to support learning at a distance. There is individual coaching and academic support (face-to-face, telephone and email as appropriate) and assessment is through a variety of coursework assignments and a thesis, which is examined by traditional viva voce (oral examination).
The Doctor of Coaching and Mentoring thus provides the setting for you to gain deeper, more critical insights into professional practices and concerns and to become an autonomous, published researcher.
Teaching, learning and assessment
The DCM is cross-disciplinary in its approach: as well as focusing on your own professional development through reflective practice and individual, peer and group learning activities, you consider, in depth, the pivotal organisational and psychological dimensions of coaching and mentoring.
The programme is delivered through monthly seminars and study days held throughout the programme at the university's Wheatley Campus. Candidates are required to attend and progression will be dependent upon successfully completing assignments based on the methodological training carried out during these study days.
Quality
Teaching staff have particular research interests and expertise in coaching and mentoring and related fields and are drawn primarily from the Business School and the School of Education at Oxford Brookes. Visiting speakers from business and industry provide further input.
The reputation of the Business School is underpinned through course accreditations awarded by the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and EPAS, and through memberships of the Association of Business Schools and professional associations such as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, and the European Foundation for Management Development. The Business School is, therefore, widely regarded as one of the best within its peer group.
Our courses benefit from rigorous quality assurance procedures and regularly receive excellent feedback from external examiners, employers, students and professional bodies. In 2005, Business and Management achieved the best possible result in the discipline audit trail as part of the Quality Assurance Agency institutional audit.
Many Business School graduates realise significant career progression and go on to achieve high status in the industry of their choice.
