Become a Doctor of Education

The Institute for Policy Studies in Education at London Metropolitan University is welcoming applications for its Doctor of Education programme, ideal for educational professionals who want to undertake a substantial investigation into an area of professional practice in education.

The Doctor of Education (EdD) is an innovative, part-time programme with a strong focus on social justice and social inclusion. It is aimed at those who have 3 or more years' employment experience in an education role (e.g. as teachers, managers, staff developers, careers officers) and who already hold a masters qualification (or equivalent).

The course is designed to meet the needs of busy educational professionals, and includes both a taught element, with six modules covering key areas of educational research and policy, and an individual thesis. It is comparable to the PhD in terms of scale and rigour and takes a minimum of four years to complete.
