About this programme
Overview Our doctorate is comparable to a PhD in terms of scale and rigour. It differs in that it provides a structured programme of advanced study in the first three years that is relevant to your profession as an educator and focused on the inter-relationship of research, policy and practice. We focus on collaborative learning, drawing on your own experiences and those of your academic colleagues. This programme will give you the skills and confidence to further advance your career to the highest levels in education and education-related fields. <div id="content_623176_study" class="maincontent columns content
