Transitioning to Staffordshire University in the same year, Edward has had the opportunity to contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate sport programmes. He has taken on leadership roles, including course leadership, module leadership including the undergraduate research modules, and supervising undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations.

Presently, Edward is pursuing a PhD at the University of Wolverhampton, focusing on the influence of exercise and physical activity on women with breast cancer during their treatment journey.
