Overview

The student cohort provides an important element of the programme. The Learning and Leadership programme is offered by University College London (UCL).

Based within an education institute with an exceptional reputation for high-quality research we offer access to a very experienced and well-regarded EdD programme team. In addition, each EdD student will work with both a principal and subsidiary research supervisor.

The first module Foundations of Professionalism in Education on our programme is delivered face-to-face. We offer a flexible design for the rest of our taught modules, comprising a mixture of both face-to-face and blended/online learning. This enables the EdD student to select the modes of delivery best suited to their needs at different stages of their programme.

The foundation of your career

Research undertaken at IOE will help students build connections between education and other related areas, such as economic and social status, employment, medicine, health and welfare, child development and families.

In searching out answers to major questions and looking for solutions to fundamental social issues, our students will develop careers which have a direct bearing on all members of society. Through their research, students will make a contribution to both professional and academic knowledge

Employability

EdD graduates are currently working as teachers, university and college lecturers and researchers, college principals and directors, policy analysts and education consultants.
