Our PhD in Education at the University of Brighton, UK, will help you play a role at the cutting-edge of research. Join us for your journey to the top of the educational ladder where your advancing knowledge can contribute to the future of society's learning, teaching and training.Brighton, on the South Coast a short train ride from London, has been a highly-valued home for educational studies since the nineteenth century. The University of Brighton traces its early history back to the original colleges that taught art education, physical education, medical education and, in 1909, led to the founding of the Brighton Municipal Training College for trainee teachers.In our modern department, the educators of the future develop skills that generate knowledge for themselves and others. The research community brings together state-of-the-art academic methodologies with wide professional experience and a diverse range of interests across formal and non-formal educational contexts at all ages.Our long-established doctorate in Education invites students to draw on all their skills and experience to shape research that has impact. We offer PhD study in both full and part-time modes and welcome students with significant professional experience, who are able to use and share the career skills they have developed, as well as those who have recently completed first degrees and wish to take advantage of their academic momentum. As a postgraduate research student in Education, you will combine theoretical analysis with fieldwork data collection, and have a chance to produce publishable and influential studies.Our PhD Education students have gone on to a variety of different roles following the successful completion of their research. These include academic posts as lecturers and postdoctoral research assistants at Brighton and elsewhere. Many have gone on to management positions in related areas such as business consultancy.
