MProf in Educational Research Studies
This is a separate award that can be taken by completing the four modules from the EdD Programme along with an additional summative review, 15,000 word dissertation and oral examination.

This additional thesis requires you to review and evaluate your learning from the four EdD modules. Your review should demonstrate the development of your thinking as a potential educational researcher.

The MProf can be completed in about two years of part-time attendance. As a qualification that confirms your capacity to undertake research, the MProf would be accepted as an entry qualification for a PhD programme of research in education.
