Course content

The CPD doctorate in educational psychology (the DEdPsy) is a flexible four-year (part-time) research degree tailored to meet the needs of qualified and practising educational psychologists with at least one year's experience.

The carefully structured programme enables practising educational psychologists to explore complex real-life issues through combining a practical, applied focus with academic and research excellence. Students carry out high-quality applied research into important issues in the range of contexts within which EPs are employed, as well as further developing their own research skills and evidence-based practice.
