Course summary

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. Development of the student cohort provides an important element of the EdD so that a learning community is established from the start of the course. Research undertaken on the EdD course can be based in any area of education, subject to the applicant being able to identify a suitable principal supervisor within UCL Institute of Education (IOE). Potential candidates should explore staff profiles and the IOE department and centre list to identify an appropriate supervisor before submitting an application. Applications submitted without agreement from a principal supervisor from within UCL Social Research Institute cannot be considered. The EdD course is designed for individuals who have a passion for exploring educational and social research related to their professional employment context. An EdD research exploration may span the entirety of your professional experience and can encompass various subject domains, as well as broader socio-economic, political, and cultural transformations. Typically, applicants are expected to have attained a Master's degree and most importantly, to have a genuine commitment to cultivate expertise in a particular research domain. Whether you come from an educational background or a related field of study within an educational context, the EdD is well-suited to individuals who wish to reflect on and advance their career in an educational landscape.
