Self Introduction
My study of EdD programme is a fantastic process. From the beginning, I have confidence that I can follow the schedule as stated in the programme leaflet.

EdD graduate encourage me to complete my interesting and challenging dissertation. EdD learning process is very fruitful to me. The teachers from Bristol are all experts in the discipline. I have learned solid knowledge from the taught units, and amazing research experience through the dissertation process. In addition, I have been inspired by teachers’ enthusiasm in contributing to the education field.
