    About

    Overview

    Staff in Education offer supervision across a range of areas including early years, primary, secondary, further and higher education, as well as informal learning outside institutional contexts. Staff have an excellent track record of supervising doctorates and MAs by Research. We pride ourselves on the quality of our research and the support that we give to our postgraduate students.

    The study of Education takes place within the School of Education, Humanities and Languages. We are a vibrant and inclusive research community with strong international links to schools and other educational organisations. We currently supervise over 70 research students in Education, all of whom have access to a wide range of training and other events.

    All of our research students are members of the Faculty’s Doctoral Training Programme and the University’s Graduate College. You will be encouraged to become involved in our research activities and will have the opportunity to work alongside academics who are at the forefront of a number of world-leading research projects.
