Doctor of Education

The degree consists of 288 credit points:

• 18 of the credit points are earned through completion of a coursework unit of research training (new unit EUN705: Conducting Research in Education); 
• 6 credit points are earned through completion of a unit of training in advanced information skills for research (EUN006 AIRS: Advanced Information Research Skills); and
• the remaining 264 credit points are earned by conduct of a research project and completion of a thesis for external examination.

The 18 credit point unit of training in conducting research in education (EUN705) includes:

• a three-day study school delivered on campus in January of Year 1 of the course;
• online flipped classroom tutorial activities for all students during Semester I;
• assessments that include a presentation which involves physical classroom or zoom options for students (2-3 days depending on the number of students); and
• work with the supervisory team to develop the EdD project and assessment pieces.

Subsequently, in the second and third semesters of their enrolment, students attend two four-day study schools. These are conducted on campus (June-July and the following January). They are mandatory course inclusions, but not coursework units.

To ensure that all course inclusions are well integrated, students work with a supervisory team from the outset of their candidature, and are encouraged to invite input from their supervisors on their EUN705 and IFN006 activities.
