Doctorate in Education (EdD)
The Doctorate in Education (EdD) is a part-time doctoral programme designed to offer high quality research training and career development for professionals employed in a broad range of areas related to education. By providing a detailed understanding of research techniques and enabling students to relate theoretical concepts to their professional field, the programme aims to enable students to critically reflect on their professional contexts as well as explore and understand the research and values that inform practice.

(Please note that if you are applying to do an EdD, two supervisors will be allocated to you by the programme after you have successfully completed the first two years of the programme. You are not required to identify potential supervisors at the time of your admissions application.)
