EdD
Summary
The Doctor of Education is a taught doctorate. It provides thorough grounding in the theory and practice of educational research. It supports you in doctoral research related to your professional context or interests. We encourage critical reflection on experiences and expertise and an evidence-based approach to practice, innovation and change.
**September 2021 entry– important application information**
This course is only available if you’re applying through the Northern Ireland and North East Doctoral Training Partnership (NINE DTP). We are unable to accept applications from independent candidates. See here for NINE DTP application guidance information.
The Doctor of Education is a professional doctorate. It is recognised for bringing together theory, research and practice through the close alignment of research with professional knowledge.
In education, professional doctorates are valuable in supporting, and indeed developing, evidence-based practice, to the benefit of the student and the wider education world.
You will benefit from a structured introduction to researching education as well as a flexible approach to learning. You can tailor your study to your own interests and emerging needs in the taught stage. You also develop research skills and approaches that you will need to succeed at the research stage.
It is appropriate for experienced professionals who wish to undertake part-time doctoral study while working full time within education. It is also suitable for full-time students with professional backgrounds as teachers or leaders who would like to develop research linked to their practices and knowledge.
We attract a diversity of both international and home students, based in a range of educational contexts, including, but not limited to, school, further education and higher education settings. Leaders, directors and teachers are able to learn from each other's experiences to develop their own understanding situated within the wider education context.
The course draws on the expertise developed in the Research Centre for Learning and Teaching (CfLaT), which is based in the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences (ECLS). Course tutors are active researchers and all teach and supervise across a range of courses. This provides them with a wide knowledge base relating to the challenges of research in educational contexts.
Delivery:
Our flexible EdD begins as a taught programme and then progresses onto a research stage, including a project and thesis.
The taught component, includes a mix of compulsory research methods modules, specifically designed for doctoral researchers in education, and optional educational content modules from a wide range of topics.
The programme provides flexibility in the choice and timing of modules and in the design and format of the research study and thesis. It comprises a taught element and a research element.
Modules are taught at various times, Monday-Friday and some Saturdays. We are committed to students who are working while studying, with email support available as necessary from the Degree Programme Director and module leaders. You can apply for accreditation of prior learning (APL), by matching the learning objectives of our modules with the objectives or outcomes of any previous study or experience (academic or professional). You then complete an empirical research thesis, maximum 60,000 words, which should be related to an issue of professional concern or interest.
You will be assigned a supervision team from ECLS. This team will support you through your research and the write up of your thesis. Your progress is monitored through annual progress panels for which you submit a piece of writing and present on your research to date. When your thesis is complete, it is examined at the viva voce by two academics with relevant knowledge and expertise.
Level | RQF Level 8 |
---|---|
Entry requirements | A 2:1 honours degree, or international equivalent, in a relevant subject such as education or social sciences. A merit master's degree is preferred, but not essential, although we would expect some study at master's level. We will also consider your application on an individual basis with a 2:2 if you have other qualifications, such as a PGCE or Cert Ed, and educational work/research experience. International Students: Direct Entry: IELTS 7.0 overall (with a minimum of 6.5 in all sub-skills) If you have lower English Language scores, you may be accepted onto a pre-sessional English course. Our typical English Language requirements are listed as IELTS scores but we also accept a wide range of English Language tests.
