This programme offers you the opportunity to work with active researchers who have international reputations in their field; our particular strengths include critical research practices, creative practices, educational theory and philosophy, and trans-professional policy studies. You will study as a member of a group of experienced professionals, where collaborative learning and peer support is encouraged.

The programme is designed to enhance the research interests of a wide range of graduate professionals working across the education sector, such as universities, schools, government agencies and voluntary bodies, as well as catering for those working beyond education, such as in human resources and health care. The common factor for all potential students is the ways in which their professional role is concerned with aspects of education or learning.

The programme is carefully structured and delivered to accommodate the demands of professional work, whilst ensuring that face-to-face tuition and peer support still flourishes; this balance is achieved through part-time study at weekend schools and evening sessions.

Why study this course:

A doctorate is one of the highest forms of academic achievement, and when you graduate from this professional and practice-orientated programme you will find that your academic and professional status are significantly enhanced. This EdD programme is designed to be highly relevant to the exploration, analysis and development of your professional practice, and there is a focus on practitioner research; you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge that will enable you to engage in sustained research into your practice.

English Language Requirements

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since April 2014 the ETS tests (including TOEFL and TOEIC) are no longer accepted for Tier 4 visa applications to the United Kingdom. The university might still accept these tests to admit you to the university, but if you require a Tier 4 visa to enter the UK and begin your degree programme, these tests will not be sufficient to obtain your Visa.

The IELTS test is most widely accepted by universities and is also accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK- learn more.
