The Doctor of Education (EdD) will extend your academic knowledge and expertise so that it can be applied in the various professional settings in which educators work.
Globally, this qualification is a benchmark in terms of researching professional policy and practice. The EdD brings together professionals from a range of contexts and backgrounds. This diversity adds richness to the learning experience and enhances your ability to engage in robust and innovative research.

This is a two-step programme of study incorporating taught papers in supportive consultation and a thesis supported by our quality staff:
