Postgraduate research degrees in Education Studies
Postgraduate research
We welcome world class applicants who have a commitment to educational research and challenge, improve and question education in its many forms. We pride ourselves on the experienced supervisors we have in place to support your research, and provide a thriving graduate association programme of workshops, social events, seminars and an annual research conference. Our research students develop a range of skills during their studies with us which enables them to develop their existing careers and to develop the skills and experiences needed to take up new career directions.
Education Studies is working closely with other disciplines from across Warwick on joint research and teaching initiatives such as Theatre Studies, Economics, Politics and International Studies and Applied Linguistics . We welcome Research Students who wish to pursue multidisciplinary research by supporting joint supervision with another Warwick department.
