This EdD is designed as a professional award - which is to say, that its principal values are the understanding and improvement of professional policy and practice. Key to this is enquiry into teaching and learning for all professionals engaged in educational tasks. Since it is aimed at experienced professionals we offer accreditation of prior learning and, therefore, multiple routes into the doctoral programme. While maintaining the commitment to doctoral standards we seek to recruit on an inclusive basis, but also on a basis which values professional as well as academic knowledge. There are two parts to the programme - the taught element and the research element.
All teaching is done in study blocks.
Following this you will take 3 doctoral components each year. Each of which has 2 study blocks. This means a total of 6 study blocks each year. There will also be occasional tutorials. Members of the Faculty of Education and contributions from prominent people in the field of educational enquiry.
