Key Facts

The EdD programme aims to meet the needs of practitioners who wish to keep abreast of a range of educational topics related to their practice, refine their research skills and work at doctoral level on issues or problems that are of direct relevance to their own professional practice. Key themes are professional learning and how this is facilitated in different contexts, and how leadership promotes professional learning of high quality.

The programme aims to provide an understanding of the nature of education research in relation to the development of practice and an enhanced understanding of the nature of professionalism.  In consultation with supervisors, participants develop a programme of work which leads to the presentation of a doctoral submission.
