Sheffield EdD

We are currently inviting applications for entry onto our Doctorate in Education (EdD) programme to commence (numbers permitting) in July 2010 in Trinidad . Applicants should possess a Masters Degree. This can be in any subject. However, applicants should know that the ED does have an educational orientation although this is not limited to education in the context of schools, colleges, or universities. We are happy to take students who work in other sectors, providing they have an interest in education and training.

The EdD is a 4 year programme, divided into two parts. Part 1, which takes 2 years, is the taught component during which students attend 2 study schools, one face to face and one virtual, in each year. Study schools are held in July (face to face) and January (virtual), and study 6 modules, each of which is assessed by a 6,000 word assignments. These assignments can be tailored to match your own professional concerns so by going on the programme you might be able to kill a number of birds with the same stone. In Part 2, students work on a research project of their choice which culminates in a 50,000 word thesis. Throughout Part 2, which again takes 2 years, you will be supervised by a member of staff from the School of Education and you will also attend 2 study schools in each year where the emphasis will be on student presentations of work in progress.

The venue for the study schools will be the British Academy , 23 Alexandra Street , St Clair, Port of Spain (see http://britishacademy.edu.tt/ ).

Fees for 2010/11 will be approximately £2,920 plus a local fee.
