Studying for a PhD in Education will allow you to become an expert in a specialist area and gain high-quality research training, which will equip you to undertake further educational research projects. As a PhD candidate, you will carry out original research work under the guidance of one or more supervisors. An initial priority for a doctorate degree is refining your research plan and establishing a feasible timescale for the project. During the early part of the PhD programme, you will embark on various research methods modules to support your research activities. We award the Doctor of Philosophy degree on the basis of a PhD thesis in which you present the rationale, methods and findings from your original study.Our vision is to conduct research on digital education which will facilitate the education of the next generation of global citizens to reach their potential and to foster a culture of lifelong learning in order to prepare individuals to work towards meeting global challenges and to bring about a more inclusive and just society. Through this research, we hope that more people globally will be able to benefit from effective digital education approaches which support their educational aspirations.
