Course overview
The Education PhD is designed for educators and education-related professionals who want to conduct original research related to their professional environment or area of educational practice, both for current and future educational practitioners. Whether you are seeking a beginning or advancement in your professional career in education, this PhD will help you extend your professional understanding and develop advanced skills for research, reflection, evaluation, and dissemination.
Our academic staff have extensive experience working with multi-agency partners, researching professionals at the master and doctoral levels, and leading national and international research-active projects.
As a postgraduate researcher, you will have one-to-one supervision with a lead supervisor and a second supervisor from our Faculty. Your supervisor is the key person who supports and guides your research. With your supervisors' guidance, you will research a topic of your choice in great depth. Your research topic may concern education at any educational phase (from Early Years to Higher Education) or setting (e.g. library, prison, museum or a heritage, health and social care service).
