Master in Professional Studies - MProf (Intercollege Larnaca)

For professionals in the private, public and voluntary sectors. We have developed a unique pan-institutional masters framework that offers a diversity of routes for professionals from the private, public and voluntary sectors. The Masters in Professional Studies (MProf) allows individuals and groups to negotiate high-level customised programmes that focus on their professional and organisational needs. The MProf is an ‘applied’ alternative to a traditional Master’s degree, aimed at high-level professionals for whom a traditional Master’s does not sufficiently address the application of professional knowledge and concepts in practice. The MProf is ‘geared specifically to addressing complex professional and organizational and social issues’. While Master’s theses typically make an original contribution to knowledge, the MProf is more concerned with making a significant contribution to practice: it requires high-level practical action, resulting for instance in significant change or development in an organisation or community of practice. The MProf project cannot be purely an academic study (and it does not need to be a research project in a conventional sense), but it needs to reflect the application of thinking that is at least of an equivalent level to that required for a Master’s degree.
