Education PhD

University of Sussex

The PhD in Education gives you the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge in an area of interest and to hone advanced research skills. You’ll work with faculty who are global in their outlook and experts in their fields. Our doctoral researchers come from all over the world. For many, the PhD is an important step in advancing a professional career. We host four research centres. Doctoral researchers become members of one or more of these depending on their area of interest, with supervisors generally coming from the research centre: • Centre for Higher Education and Equity Research • Centre for Innovation and Research in Childhood and Youth (jointly hosted by the Department of Education and the Department of Social Work and Social Care) • Centre for Teaching and Learning Research • Centre for International Education.
