The Sheffield EdD EdD

The Sheffield EdD is a vibrant and successful distance learning programme which attracts students from all over the world. The programme is based on a structure of three weekend study schools a year. The main aim of the programme is that students develop their own high standards of research that will be relevant to a range of professional and managerial careers.

The EdD is divided into two Parts; Part 1 is the taught element of the course and runs over two years while Part 2 is the research component. In Part 1 students undertake modules which focus on research training in preparation for Part 2. In Part 2 students undertake an independent study in an area of their choice, under the supervision of their own personal supervisor.

The Sheffield EdD has five named routes:

• EdD Educational Studies
• EdD Early Childhood Education
• EdD Higher Education
• EdD Language, Learning and Teaching
• EdD Literacy and Language and Education
