Ashridge Doctorate in Organisational Consulting

Ashridge Doctorate in Organisational Change

Do you seek to make a unique contribution to the understanding and knowledge of initiating and sustaining change within and across organisations?

Do you see yourself as an experienced ‘reflective practitioner’, interested in ‘action inquiry?

The Ashridge Doctorate in Organisational Change (ADOC) will develop your practice to a deeper level. The programme was originally created and developed in response to requests from alumni of the highly successful Ashridge Masters in Organisational Change (AMOC) and we invite you to apply for our next Doctoral intake.

This programme will help you:

  • Practise in your chosen field with a level of mastery appreciated by peers and clients
  • Critically evaluate and enhance your professional knowledge
  • Understand and convey ways in which knowledge is constructed in the social phenomenon of organisations and in the practice of consulting and how such knowledge is used to influence learning and organisational transformation
  • Appreciate and demonstrate the ethical aspects of influencing in organisational settings as they apply to the individuals engaged, the organisation involved and the wider contextual socio-ecological systems.

The Doctorate in Organisational Change can be studied in two ways:

Option One

Starting in February every year, the Doctoral programme duration is five years. In this option participants start with the first three modules of our acclaimed Masters in Organisational Change programme and then proceed onto the Doctorate.
The next option one programme starts February 2014.

The option one programme fee is £39,500 (excluding VAT).

Option Two

For those with a compatible qualification to our own Masters in Organisational Change programme, such an MSc in Change Management or an MSc in Responsibility and Business Practice, along with relevant experience (both pre-requisites are subject to approval upon application by the faculty) participants may proceed direct onto the Doctorate. Starting in April, every second year, the Doctoral programme duration is three and a half years.
The next option two programme starts April 2015.
The option two programme fee is £24,500 (excluding VAT).

The Ashridge Doctorate in Organisational Change leads to the Doctorate in Professional Studies in Organisational Change and is awarded by Middlesex University.
