Course summary

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).

The programme is made up of individual supervision and, as such, can be extremely flexible to accommodate your needs.

As a PhD student, you will be expected to attend the University's research training sessions and a series of in-house seminars. The latter may be online (synchronous or asynchronous) or in-person, take the form of research 'masterclasses' led by experienced academic staff intended to reflect on different aspects of conducting education research or research seminars led by research students who present and discuss work-in-progress. You are also invited to attend research seminars arranged for academic staff members. There will be many opportunities to engage with other doctoral students and staff members beyond your supervisors.

There is also a series of sessions organised by the Graduate Research School on researcher development and managing doctorate (up to the stage of thesis submission and viva examination). The sessions are open to all PhD students and run by various faculty members.
