Completing a research degree in education will leave you more informed and qualified than any of our education related qualifications will. A PhD is the highest rated research degree awarded by UWS and the specialist knowledge acquired through academic research is known to increase employability. 

A PhD in Education will be invaluable for a career in education or the social sciences. You might be interested in social policy, public health, pedagogy, curriculum, or you might have your sights set on a particular educational institution that you see yourself being a part of. Maybe you want to become a lecturer to pass on knowledge in a specialist area to the next generation. Or, perhaps you’ve found a gap in educational research that you passionately feel needs to be addressed. 

Whatever your reason for being interested in a PhD in Education, UWS recognises the value of this degree and want to hear your research proposal.
