The PhD in Education gives you the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge in an area of interest and to hone advanced research skills. You will work with faculty who are global in their outlook and experts in their fields.
Our doctoral researchers come from all over the world. For many, the PhD is an important step in advancing a professional career.
Areas of Study
We host four research centres. Doctoral researchers become members of one or more of these depending on their area of interest, with supervisors generally coming from the research centre:
Degree requirements: You’re normally expected to have a master’s degree and an upper second-class (2.1) undergraduate honours degree. Subject-specific requirements: You must show evidence of at least three years’ work experience in education or a related area. Your Masters-level qualification must be in a related subject area, or you must show evidence of your research experience gained in the UK or overseas education system. In exceptional circumstances, you may also be considered for this course if you don’t have the academic qualifications required but can show evidence of relevant professional experience.
