Study Details: 2 years
The Sheffield EdD is a vibrant and successful distance learning programme which attracts students from all over the world. The programme is based on a structure of study weekends, so you can study from anywhere at any time and also share experiences with fellow students at the weekend study schools in Sheffield.
The main aim of the programme is that students develop their own high standards of research that will be relevant to a range of professional and managerial careers.
The EdD is divided into two Parts; Part 1 is the taught element of the course and runs over two years while Part 2 is the research component. In Part 1 students undertake modules which focus on research training in preparation for Part 2. In Part 2 students undertake an independent study in an area of their choice, under the supervision of their own personal supervisor.
You should hold both a bachelor's degree (normally first or second class honours or equivalent) and an appropriate masters degree, or equivalent.
You should also have a minimum of five years' professional experience within a relevant field.
The EdD is divided into two parts:
A taught element of the course and runs over two years. Students are encouraged to engage critically in complex contemporary issues in education and education research.
A research component. Students undertake their own independent research and this is facilitated through collaborative, collegial relationships, including both cohort and individual supervision.
Part one:
Being and Becoming a Researcher
Curriculum and Pedagogy
Critical Issues in Contemporary Education
Educational Research: Theory and Practice
Part two:
Following induction, students undertake their own independent research and this is facilitated through collaborative, collegial relationships, including both cohort and individual supervision.
Students will be invited to become members of at least one research cluster or network in the School of Education and encouraged to take an active role in their related activities such as conferences, seminar series and readings groups, in order to develop expertise in their chosen field of study and raise or establish their own national and international research profiles.
