MPhil in Education in Educational Research

This route, which is also the Faculty of Education's doctoral training programme, provides a broad-based training in educational research that aims to help students become familiar with an appropriate range of intellectual and methodological traditions within the field; become skilled and critical readers of educational research; develop knowledge in depth of some substantive areas of education and educational research; and gain practical experience of educational research through conducting a small-scale investigation. By the end of the programme, students will have a comprehensive understanding of research techniques, and a thorough knowledge of the literature applicable to their specific educational domain.
