Dual doctoral award in education — Conferred jointly with Haverton University (UK) & University of Warwick (UK)
University of Warwick (United Kingdom)
Online or on campus
A research doctorate for people who already work in schools, colleges, or education systems. The thesis must study a problem the candidate can investigate with proper access to evidence. Warwick moderates the research design and the final examination. This award does not confer Qualified Teacher Status or a licence to teach. Students earn 2 independent accredited diplomas with a 60% / 40% international credit split. PhD Education (Dual Award) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 48 months, and the credit total is 540. Students move from Learners and design through Learners and design, and finish on Learners and design. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students design a short sequence for a named group of learners and the criteria that would mark it fairly. Reading is a curriculum extract, an assessment specification, and an evaluation summary. The artefact a marker expects is a plan with outcomes, a task, criteria, and a note on bias. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Doctoral methods, education policy, and a supervised thesis Research moderation with the University of Warwick Designed to be completed while the candidate remains in post Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer a teaching licence, QTS, or equivalent registration. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
