PhD in Global Education
The Centre for Global Learning (GLEA) is inviting applications from suitably qualified graduates to study a part-time, structured PhD in Global Education, delivered fully online from anywhere in the world.
The online PhD in Global Education is a structured PhD designed to develop you into an educational researcher with a global outlook. Using research to change yourself and society, this programme is ideal for those looking to undertake a PhD whilst working in an educational setting - wherever you are in the world.
Aimed at those working in educational settings, this PhD aims to develop the capability of individuals to work within a professional context whilst researching and theorising their own practice in schools, universities or other educational contexts.
Delegates will be colleagues who construct their identities as practitioners and/or policy makers, and your prime motivation will be to generate professional knowledge, applying this to practice, and ultimately advancing your career.
Integrated within this programme is a track to Master of Arts by Research, which you can take if you do not wish to progress to the PhD. You will have the opportunity to build up, through the degree, a substantial piece of original research that has real relevance to policy and/or practice.
"Pursuing the PhD in Global Education was an enriching experience, thanks to the well-designed programme structure, content and built-in flexibility. The initial three modules were particularly beneficial, as they equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary for conducting research.
The ongoing guidance in developing portfolios each year allowed me to continuously refine and shape my research ideas, which greatly enhanced my creative resilience.
Throughout the programme, the teaching staff and supervisory team were consistently supportive and approachable. The ability to balance work and life with the program was a major factor in my decision to enroll, and I’m glad I made that choice."
Dr. Amrita Narang, the first graduate of the PhD in Global Education programme
