The EdD is organised in two parts.
The first part, the Taught Stage, takes two years to complete; the second part, the Research Stage, takes three to four years.
The EdD is designed for those who are already working in education in a range of contexts. The course is aimed at both professionals and practitioners who would like to advance their own professional development in the areas of research, policy, curriculum development, and professional practice. The course will benefit those looking to improve and develop their own practice, as well as institutional practice or policy.
We would normally expect applicants for this programme to hold a first or upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) from a recognised university, as well as an MA, MEd, or MPhil in a relevant field. Where professional experience is extensive and has involved research practice, this requirement may be waived.
Previous experience of conducting research, or research methods training in the social sciences, is beneficial.
Professional requirements: appropriate professional experience in the practice of policy or a related field. Students in the programme will normally be expected to have at least three years' experience.
English language requirements: at least 7.0 average in IELTS with no lower than 6.5 in any one area.
References: Three references are required. At least two of these should be academic references.
Applicants will be expected to provide a research proposal, which will be assessed for originality, feasibility and rigour.
