Table of ContentsReviewsInspiring, Comprehensive, and Practical I wholeheartedly endorse Completing Your EdD: The Essential Guide to the Doctor of Education. This invaluable resource significantly enhanced my journey through the EdD program at the University of Liverpool. The book offers practical insights, strategies, and encouragement that helped me navigate the challenges of my studies. Its clear guidance and supportive tone made the daunting process of completing an EdD feel manageable and achievable. I am grateful for the wisdom shared in this book, which has truly shaped my academic experience and personal growth. I highly recommend it to any aspiring EdD candidate seeking clarity and inspiration on their educational journey. -- Duyen Can, EdD, Lecturer of English, University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University I started my EdD journey with great enthusiasm, completed my modules and then the stress and anxiety kicked in with the thesis. I found it difficult to write my literature review chapter and I really struggled with the theoretical framework section. The chapter on developing a theoretical framework provided some great insights into how to approach this. Coming towards the end of my doctoral journey I began to question whether my thesis was at a standard worthy of submission. The 'Getting over the finish line' chapter provided valuable advice in relation to first impressions and first impression do count! My examiners provided positive remarks on my presentation of my thesis. While I was looking forward to ending my doctoral journey, I found the thoughts of having to undertake a viva to be very daunting. I read and re-read the chapter around the examination process and the viva a number of times. Within this chapter, there was fantastic advice especially the examples of typical questions that would be asked for every chapter of the thesis. I practised answering these questions right up to the morning of my viva! I now recommend this book to my own students as I feel that this text will provide students with the necessary insights to help them achieve their doctoral qualification. -- Dr. Valerie McGrath, Lecturer, Munster Technological University, Co. Kerry, Ireland Having completed the EdD myself, I know how tough yet fulfilling the process can be. Completing Your EdD is the kind of resource I wish I’d had. It covers every stage of the doctorate journey (from the taught modules to carrying out your research) in a way that’s both workable and easy to follow. What makes it stand out is the way it blends practical guidance with examples from actual EdD students. It offers straightforward advice on everything from academic writing to handling supervisor relationships, making the process feel much more manageable. The contributions from EdD tutors and other practitioners are also a highlight. They provide insights that make you feel understood and supported. If you're starting or are in the middle of your EdD, this book will give you the confidence to push forward. It’s not just a guide – it’s a supportive companion for anyone undertaking the Professional Doctorate in Education or like me, working in the education sector. -- Dr Tina Sode (She/Her), Head of Special Educational Needs, Children’s Services Directorate, London This is a book you will keep referring to at all stages of your doctoral study. This is my ‘go to’ EdD book whether I have used it for more guidance on a specific area of EdD or a reminder of key information and reflection questions. Mine is overflowing with post it notes and prompts. I have read several times now and each time it is a recap of how to go about each chapter and what to include in your writing, especially those chapters that are quite challenging. Each chapter provides useful information and advice on key elements of the doctoral process from those who have been through the process themselves or involved in doctoral delivery. This helps you relate to the chapters on a more personal level from those who have faced similar hurdles to you and which is key to success in your doctoral study. -- Holly Kirkpatrick, Senior Lecturer in Physical Education, Faculty of Education, The University of Buckingham Author InformationDr Iona Burnell Reilly is an interdisciplinary qualitative researcher in the fields of Sociology, Education and Positive Psychology.
