教育与终身学习学院成立于2003年，由教育部和继续教育中心合并而成。该学院同时提供哲学博士学位和博士学位。这些是以研究为基础的学位，在该学位中，学生可以在本系内部的密切学术监督下进行个人研究项目。他们可以全日制或非全日制学习。MPhil通常需要进行一年的全日制研究（兼职两年），然后学生完成并提交约60,000个单词的论文。博士通常需要三年的全日制研究（五年兼读制），然后学生完成并提交80-100,000字的论文。
The School of Education and Lifelong Learning was formed in 2003 as a merger between the Department of Education and the Centre for Continuing Education. The School offers both MPhil and PhD degrees. These are research-based degrees, in which students undertake individual research projects under close academic supervision from within the department. They can be studied full or part-time. The MPhil normally takes one year of full-time research (two years part-time), after which students complete and submit a dissertation of around 60,000 words. The PhD normally takes three years of full-time research (five years part-time), after which students complete and submit a dissertation of 80-100,000 words.
