The Department of Educational Studies is offering 2 PhD bursaries to prospective students to start in the academic year 2021/2022. The Department has an established MPhil/PhD programme in Education, and an MPhil/PhD in Art Practice and Learning programme. Together these programmes provide opportunities for study in a wide range of topics relating to the field of education. Research proposals are encouraged in any of the areas in which the Department has expertise, subject to supervisor availability (see https://www.gold.ac.uk/educational-studies/staff/).

Successful candidates in the past have worked in such areas as:

International students are eligible to apply for bursaries but will be expected to pay the difference between home and international fee rates themselves.
