Doctorate of Education (EdD)

The Doctor of Education (EdD) differs from a Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) in that it’s primarily focused on professional rather than theoretical issues and is aimed at those who’ve already been employed in the education sector for a number of years, as lecturers, teachers, consultants, advisers or inspectors. Through this program, students can both challenge and enhance their practice by engaging with relevant theory, policy and empirical research.

The course attracts a diverse range of educational professionals. Students work across a range of education sectors, including higher education, local authorities, schools and colleges and early years settings.
