This course targets educators seeking doctoral level study and will simultaneously provide them with advanced in-depth knowledge related to their profession, and involvement in research work which is closely related to the improvement of their professional practice. The course provides high-level inquiry and research skills for senior education professionals, enabling them to evaluate, commission, design, implement and administer research into different aspects of education provision, and to understand the policy implications of such research. The research focus which underpins the Doctor of Education is closely related to the professional world of the students, with a distinctive orientation towards practical research that contributes to the growth of the profession and the discipline itself.
