Our EdD is designed to support graduate professionals working across the education sector to conduct original doctoral research in this continually changing field.
You will study under the guidance of our team of active researchers who have international reputations in their field and who will support you throughout the course.
You will undertake taught modules that are delivered over six weekends each year to fit in with the busy schedules of working professionals. Evening seminars, workshops and conferences are held regularly to supplement the course; some weekend sessions are taught in situ, such as the creative education workshops in the galleries at Tate Liverpool.
