Students execute and complete their doctoral research as a Dissertation in Practice. This stage involves conducting the approved study, analyzing findings using the approved analytical approach, developing or evaluating an applied solution or improvement pathway, and communicating the practical and scholarly implications in a completed Dissertation in Practice document. The final dissertation submission and public defense demonstrate the learner’s ability to investigate a real-world problem of practice, use appropriate research methods, generate evidence-based insights, and contribute to applied AI or technology practice at doctoral level.
