Master and professional doctorates focus on the labor market and earn space

The programs that bring together the differentiated profile of the candidates and focus on the application of knowledge to resolve the real challenges

The opportunity to align the study with a practical action in the work area of work motivates the search for teachers and professional doctorates. Unlike academics who are addressed to those who want to pursue a career in research or university teaching, professional programs focus on the application of knowledge to resolve real challenges in the field of work, allowing to increase their career by deepening their knowledge in their area of competence.

“The professional program has an entire structure of the formulation of academic research. But the big differential is in the flow, finally, the candidate, his work area, his professional experience and the generation of a product”, says Leandro Great, coordinator of the degree program in the environment, health and sustainability (Proasas) of the public health faculty of the University of São Paulo (FSP-USP).

In both courses, the development of a technical and technological product (PTT) is an obligation. He underlines the professional’s ability to transform theoretical knowledge into innovative solutions in the labor market and in society.

“Let’s start with this problem that the professional has in the field of work and makes an academic study to develop a product that has a wide range of possibilities, connecting the academic study to professional practice. For us it is practically mandatory that the student delivered at the end of the course a thesis, in the case of the Master or a doctoral thesis containing the PTT”, says the coordinator of the program.

In the context of the professional doctorate, studies should be deeper and more robust, accompanied by innovative methodological applications for the creation of products. This mode of the course Stricho Sensu It is particularly suitable for professionals who occupy leadership positions or who are in a career progression path.

It is also important to see the professional doctoral student as a person able to guide an important axis of debate. Another important point is that it has a greater vision for the transformation in the search for sustainability, with deeper and more systemic changes.

“The choice for this mode not only allows us to develop our activities better, but allows us to have contacts with new research tools and methodologies to improve the development of our work,” he says.

Silva graduated in physics at the USP in 2002. Before choosing the degree, he was already working at the state Paulo State Basic Health Company (Sabesp). He entered the company through a public offer held in 1992.

“At that time, I had no career project within the company. I even taught physics for ten years, parallel to Sabesp, but then I chose to pursue a career within the company,” he said.

Silva also studied MBA in the economic management of the economic project, when it was specialized in the work of Project Manager Sabesp in 2011. He did two other specializations of toilet -health services between 2017 and 2023.
