This chapter explores the application of the Pilgrimage Model of Short Learning Programmes (SLP) in doctoral education, aiming to enhance research skills among doctoral students. Inspired by spiritual journeys, this model fosters deep learning by encouraging short-term, self-directed and targeted expeditions into various research areas. By embarking on these short learning journeys, students acquire new skills, broaden their knowledge and cultivate intellectual curiosity. This approach transforms the traditional doctoral experience and promotes self-directed learning and holistic development. The study contributes to the pedagogical field by exploring its efficacy in advanced academic settings. Through the Pilgrimage Model, doctoral programmes can transcend traditional thesis-based evaluations, offering a more comprehensive engagement with knowledge and nurturing skills crucial for academic and professional success. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
