Mohe/mqa: (n-dl/0111/8/0007)(11/30)(mqa/pa16827), why this course.

The Doctor of Education (EdD) is designed for experienced educators, educational leaders and professionals.

This EdD programme differs from a purely academic PhD in Education by focusing on the inter-relationships between pedagogical theory and practice.

Combining both research and application, the EdD is applicable to a broad range of industries inside and outside of the world of education.

It provides an ideal qualification for candidates seeking to move into senior leadership, higher level teaching or policy roles within the education realm.
