The School of Education is one of the most diverse and highly regarded schools of education in the country with a vibrant, collaborative and interdisciplinary research culture. Our international community of researchers has an excellent record of winning external funding, and our research centres provide structure and support, promoting collaboration and impact. In studying for a PhD in Education from the University of Exeter, you will benefit from holistic support including content and methodologies relevant to your research and you will also be assigned a pastoral tutor. We hold an annual staff-student conference that is organised by students and brings us all together to share our research. We offer an ongoing Lecture series in addition to events organised through our research centres. We are located on the historic and beautiful St Luke’s Campus. This ideal setting is within easy walking distance of both the city centre and the University’s Streatham Campus, where students are encouraged to make use of the additional facilities available to them.
