What will I learn?

Our Doctor of Education (EdD) is an ideal development opportunity if you’re a senior professional seeking to enhance and utilise your research expertise in an educational context. Whatever your area of education – from professional learning, higher education, schools, colleges, early years provision or policy development – earning an EdD will position you as a leader in your field.

From the curriculum design in accountancy in higher education to learning in adult communities and, from medical professional learning to digitally-supported education, the Doctor of Education provides a context for advanced inquiry across a wide range of sectors, cultures, contexts and ages.

Our Doctor of Education is tailored to the needs of senior professionals and combines an excellent grounding in research methods and educational theory, with the opportunity to put your research to work in improving professional policy and practice.

Through your self-directed research, you will produce an original, significant and rigorously-derived contribution to your field of practice. Combining the richness of our faculty-wide international research culture, peer-reviewed global research, the expertise of peers, and your own experience, you will utilise the Doctor of Education course to produce new impactful knowledge in your field. These impacts may, in part, be derived from practice and/or be applied as an innovation as new practices. Your research may incorporate a focus on practical knowledge and may lead to professional or organisational change.
