Overview
Our Doctoral Programme in Education at University of Buckingham promotes and endorses the highest level of knowledge, skills and experiences of leaders in schools and education in the belief that this recognition will impact significantly on practice.
Features
- An EdD is at the same level as a PhD. Like a PhD the EdD requires students to make a unique contribution to knowledge.
- A distinguishing element of an EdD is that it is also required to ensure your study results in a tangible impact on practice.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- This is because the EdD is a practitioner/professional doctorate which means that it is designed for professionals working in Education and that the focus of study should be on the nature of Educational practice.
- Every student attends an Induction Programme and then is allocated two personal supervisors. You have a main supervisor who will be a critical friend through the process, and you will have approximately 12 hours of supervision each year.
- Students are supported by webinars and by two study days in November and another two study days in April.
- You are expected to attend these for the first three years. The online support guides you through some of the key elements of completing a doctorate, for example, research methodology, engaging with literature and philosophical frameworks.
