Doctor of Education

About the course Doctor of Education (EdD) students engage in systematic critique and scholarly inquiry of complex concepts to advance knowledge and/or professional practice in education.Through the design, selection and application of appropriate research methodologies, students extend and redefine existing knowledge and practices, generating novel solutions to educational issues that contribute to professional practice and educational quality. EdD Students will disseminate and promote new knowledge and insights to colleagues, educational institutions, leaders, and broaden networks through local, national, and global connections. With guidance from experts in academic supervision and support, EdD students identify applied professional solutions to contemporary challenges in the education sector, positively impacting the educational landscape for teachers and leaders. Inclusive approaches ensure equitable access and engagement of diverse students and staff, with an emphasis on wellbeing and social justice for all. Curriculum design, and learning experiences exemplify the integration of theory and practice to stimulate curiosity and ‘excite’ the learner. Digital technologies enhance the student experience through diverse approaches to learning, and greater accessibility and flexibility. Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) (authentic, relevant and real-world learning) opportunities enable strengthened capabilities such as problem identification, problem-solving, reflective practice, communication, and creativity.
