Overview

Study at doctoral level stimulates and transforms students' professional thinking and everyday practice, whilst developing a deep understanding of real-life professional situations. Students make a substantial and original contribution to the development of educational knowledge in relation to their own individual educational interests.

Why do a EdD?

Theoretical and practical ideas in the Education sector are constantly changing and evolving. Professionals working in this field need to engage with current research and develop their professional practice through continual professional development (CPD). The EdD pathway of the Professional Doctorate enables students to become research literate and to apply these skills to their everyday professional practice.

The EdD at Cardiff Metropolitan University focuses on 'applied' research, related to students' individual research interests. Academic and professional knowledge are used to focus on a 'change' project related to students' individual job role.
