FAQs

1. What is the difference between the SLPD and the PhD?

The SLPD does not provide researchers with the same training as the PhD. Unlike a PhD, the SLPD prepares you to assess and apply advanced leadership, business and practice management, and clinical science to real-world problems in a practice specialisation area. The SLPD program is speedier than the PhD and allows students to work while they study.

Our department provides both PhD and SLPD degrees. Learn about PhD programs
