About Education, Professional Doctorate - at Bath Spa University

This six-year part-time Professional Doctorate in Education combines a three-year taught programme with a three-year piece of independent research and a thesis of 50,000 words. You'll have the opportunity to conduct an original piece of empirical research based on your own practice in an educational field of your choice, which will make a new contribution to knowledge.

The course will offer you the opportunity to engage with the latest research in professionalism, early childhood studies, social justice and inequalities in education, education policy, leadership in education, pedagogies, and education philosophy. All of this will be underpinned by a rigorous study of research methods and theories in education.

This course is aimed at professionals working in education or education-related fields. You'll be encouraged to think, write, and research critically, innovatively, and rigorously. You'll learn how to analyse, critique and innovate in education practice, policy and research. You'll be encouraged to challenge established ideas and concepts and develop your professional and academic skills to the highest level.

Entry requirements

The EdD is designed for those who are already working in education in a range of contexts. The course is aimed at both professionals and practitioners who would like to advance their own professional development in the areas of research, policy, curriculum development, and professional practice. The course will benefit those looking to improve and develop their own practice, as well as institutional practice or policy.

We would normally expect applicants for this programme to hold a first or upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) from a recognised university, as well as an MA, MEd, or MPhil in a relevant field. Where professional experience is extensive and has involved research practice, this requirement may be waived.

Previous experience of conducting research, or research methods training in the social sciences, is beneficial.

Professional requirements: appropriate professional experience in the practice of policy or a related field. Students in the programme will normally be expected to have at least three years' experience.

English language requirements: at least 7.0 average in IELTS with no lower than 6.5 in any one area.

References: Three references are required. At least two of these should be academic references.

Applicants will be expected to provide a research proposal, which will be assessed for originality, feasibility and rigour.
