Education Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

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.

* Education and Lifelong Learning 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 we have expertise, subject to supervisor availability.

* We are home to 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 Research Centres of Education and LIfelong Learning 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.

* Education and Lifelong Learning also participates in two prestigious Doctoral Training Partnerships.
