Education (Research)

We are committed to developing our postgraduate students into competent and critical educational researchers able to conduct rigorous and socially impactful research using a variety of methodological approaches.

• The Department of Educational Studies at Goldsmiths is recognised nationally and internationally for its innovative, original, and publicly relevant education research. We encourage research proposals in any of the areas in which the Department has expertise, subject to supervisor availability.

• The Department has about 40 home and international research students. Many of our research students are also practising professionals carrying out research related to their work. Students study either full-time or part-time.

• Students become members of the Department's Research Centres and they're encouraged to contribute along with staff and other visiting scholars to their seminar series and to the Department’s rich research culture. Additional facilities for research students are provided by the Goldsmiths Graduate School.

• The Department also participates in two prestigious Doctoral Training Partnerships.

• We are particularly interested to hear from those who would like to work within areas such as:

Art practice and learning
Children’s literature and education
Curriculum policy and practice

Race, politics and education
Progressive pedagogies
Multilingualism
