Course Summary

Overview

The EdD is a research degree for experienced professionals from education and related fields who would like to extend their professional understanding and develop skills in research, evaluation and high-level reflection on practice. The student cohort provides an important element of the programme. Research undertaken on the EdD programme can be based in any area of education, subject to the applicant being able to identify suitable principal and subsidiary supervisors within UCL Institute of Education. Potential candidates should explore UCL IRIS and the IOE department and centre list to identify appropriate supervisors before submitting an application. Applications submitted without agreement from a principal supervisor from within Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment cannot be considered.

Careers

EdD graduates are currently working as teachers, university and college lecturers and researchers, college principals and directors, policy analysts and education consultants. Research undertaken at UCL Institute of Education will help students build connections between education and other related areas, such as economic and social status, employment, medicine, health and welfare, child development and families. In searching out answers to major questions and looking for solutions to fundamental social issues, our students will develop careers which have a direct bearing on all members of society. Through their research, students will make a contribution to both professional and academic knowledge.

Employability

Students will develop general and specialist skills in research methodology, academic writing and presentation, as well as gaining experience of engaging with a wide range of practitioners across different sectors of education.

Modules

The course focuses on a range of key issues and debates in modern professional life. It is designed with two principal aims in mind. Firstly, the exploration the evolution and nature of the challenges and tensions faced in the early twenty-first century. Secondly, both the course activities ? and the written assessment - provide a crucial element of your induction into the kinds of discursive, analytical and writing skills that are essential for EdD students. A further vital ingredient of your time on 'FoP' is the opportunity offered by the course to participate in a professional learning community; sharing the insights and experiences of your peers, who come from a great diversity of backgrounds. This will add enormously to the richness of your experience at the UCL Institute of Education.
