Programme Aims and Objectives

The EdD programme is aimed at experienced educators and professionals in education settings who aspire to extend their expertise in a particular Specialized Area, and their professional knowledge in a broad range of educational contexts through core courses.

Upon the completion of the Programme, students should be able to:

  • Demonstrate an expert knowledge, understanding and competence in the Specialized Area and in the larger educational context;
  • Generate appropriate theoretical frameworks to address, analyse and propose solutions to a broad range of educational issues;
  • Develop insights into research trends in the Specialized Area and demonstrate readiness to contribute to the professional literature in that field; and
  • Critically analyze educational policies, processes or practices from different perspectives.

Creative Arts Education

The creative arts play a critical role in human and community development as well as the cultural and creative industries. The rapid and ongoing transformation of the cultural landscape and economic environments in a globalised world presents enormous challenges to educational and artistic leadership in areas such as policy making, innovative programme/curriculum development and interdisciplinary learning. This area is designed to provide stimulating opportunities for students to be engaged as lifelong learners with exciting research projects and significant global trends in creative arts education – music / visual arts. Discussion of current and emerging issues including arts-based research, evidence-based and research-based teaching and decision making, change leadership, cultural entrepreneurship and brain-based learning emphasize the vital role of creative arts leadership in the 21st century.
