Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Our EdD is available for study on a part-time basis, and students typically complete the programme in 4-5 years. The EdD is formed of two parts:

Part A: provides a programme of modules, including research methods, theory in educational research and leadership and management research, delivered through blended learning with immersive campus-based learning weekends.

Part B: an independent, supervised research study on an approved topic of approximately 50,000 words.

In Part B of the EdD you will be assigned a supervisor with expertise that aligns with your research topic.

Our expert academics are leaders in their areas of research, and will work closely with you to ensure your time with us as a EdD student is as rewarding as possible.
