About this program
Professional Doctorate in Education
This Professional Doctorate in Education is a part-time course in two parts. The first part is the taught element which will take three years to complete, the second is the independent research element which will take two to three years.
The taught element contains six modules. Two modules will run per academic year, one per semester. This will also involve planning a piece of original research. You must pass the taught element of the course to move on to the thesis stage.
Once the taught part of the course is complete, you'll conduct an independent piece of empirical research that will make an original contribution to knowledge. This element will take two to three years. You'll work with two supervisors who'll guide your work, and you'll produce a 50,000 word thesis.
