Education (Research)

Researchers in the School of Education are committed to investigating and advancing social justice within and through education. You will undertake your doctoral study in a supportive international and interdisciplinary research community.

The school has over 200 years of experience in educational research and draws researchers and teachers whose work addresses current issues affecting educational practitioners, theory, institutions and systems. Our researchers have strong relationships with local and international organisations, and you will work with two supervisors who share interest in your field.

Education research areas include:

• literacies and literacy practices

• education for human flourishing

• education and international politics and development

• education and social justice

• higher, adult and vocational education

• language education

• informal and non-formal education

• learning sciences

Entry to our postgraduate research programme is competitive and having a strong research proposal is therefore very important.
