The School of Education welcomes applications for PhD research in any area of education. The research interests of staff are broad and interdisciplinary and, as leading researchers in the field, we are actively engaged in broad educational issues at the cutting edge of change. Students should look in detail at these before applying in order to see if we have the expertise and experience to supervise their chosen area of study. Our doctoral programmes are very popular, and as a result, we have one of the largest doctoral communities nationally. The School also receives a large number of applications, however our supervisors have limited availability, so we can only offer a limited number of places to study with us.
