Teaching and Curriculum

Doctorate in Educational Psychology

Teaching is a core part of the programme which is organised into modules to provide a coherent framework. The teaching elements feed into the development of the ‘HCPC Standards of Proficiency’ and the ‘BPS Standards for the Accreditation of Doctoral Programmes in Educational Psychology’.

There are three overarching strands to teaching on the EdPsyD:

Academic
Practice
Research
