The Professional Doctorate in Education (EdD) is a doctoral level programme for anyone involved in an educative role within a professional discipline. Its focus is on the ways in which learning can be understood and might be developed in a professional context. The title ?Professional Doctorate? signals that it is both for professional people and about the nature of professional practice and its development. Exploring the meaning of ?professionalism? is central to the programme and the term should be interpreted widely. The programme encourages you to consider how professional practice is manifested in your working context and to use this for developing new ideas about its development. Whilst it is likely to be attractive to those working in mainstream education and schooling it is equally intended for anyone who has a role in leading learning and professional development in any professional practice.
