Doctor of Education
Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
A professional doctorate in education, about three years full-time, combining coursework in research methods and education research topics with an applied research dissertation. It differs from a PhD by being built for practising education leaders who want to research a problem in their own context while staying in work. Supervision is available on campus or remotely to support working professionals. Research areas include school leadership, teacher development, Aboriginal education, educational technology and curriculum design. Entry requires an honours degree, a master's, or a bachelor's plus scholarly or professional achievement judged equivalent. Graduates are school principals, program and curriculum designers, university teachers and government advisers who want a doctoral qualification grounded in practice.
