Students undertake independent research projects examining issues affecting schools, learners, educators, families, and communities.
Key Facts
Current and completed doctoral projects include interpretations of the national curriculum in English primary schools, inclusive education in Vietnam, youth democracy and policy development in the UK, parental perceptions of child-to-parent violence and abuse, representations of education in film, and the professional identity of vocational teachers in post-14 institutions. The Education Doctorate (EdD) additionally enables researchers to work within a cohort while completing a substantial individual thesis.Programme Structure
