Course Overview

The EdD (Doctorate of Education) is designed for those who intend to extend their professional development and understanding through research and reflection on practice. It is a part-time program, typically taking five years to complete. The EdD is delivered entirely at BGU, with the degree awarded by the University of Leicester.

The EdD comprises two stages. The first consists of five taught modules taken over the program's first two years. Sessions are delivered at weekends with tutorial and peer support provided in between, enabling you to combine your study with work commitments. The modules incorporate various teaching and learning strategies covering a range of core research skills contextualized in professional issues. Sessions enable the systematic development of the skills and knowledge required at the doctoral level. You progress to the thesis stage after successfully completing the taught phase. Here, you produce a thesis intended to provide an original contribution to professional knowledge and understanding in a focused area of inquiry.
