Professional Doctorate

All PD candidates are processed via a process called VAE. VAE stands for “Validation des Acquis de l ’Experience,” which is a French term for the recognition of prior learning and experience. The VAE process in France through a reputed European University involves the submission of a portfolio of evidence for evaluation by a VAE committee, which then assesses an individual’s work experience, skills, and competencies. If the candidate is approved, they can receive a diploma or certification from European University. It’s important to note that the requirements for VAE may vary depending on the specific program or certification. A Professional Doctorate (PD) as offered by a reputed European University is a type of doctoral award that typically focuses on practical applications of a particular field. The Professional Doctorate award can indeed be considered an honorary award, as it recognizes the recipient’s advanced knowledge and expertise in their field. In many cases, individuals who hold a Professional Doctorate award are entitled to use the title “Dr.” in front of their name. However, the specific use of the title “Dr.” may vary depending on the country and jurisdiction, and individuals should consult the relevant authorities or professional organizations for specific guidance. The VAE Professional Doctorate (PD) is conferred on deserving candidates based upon the “Portfolio of Evidences” submitted to the University’s team of VAE Assessors (validation of prior learning and experience), along with candidate’s social standing in his/her community/province/state/country, gauged and validated through his/her noteworthy contributions, as well as achievements in the form of creation/invention/problem-solving/social engineering efforts.
