Overview
The Educational Research course from Lancaster University you'll prepare for a career in academia, educational administration, or NGO work, by exploring an issue that interests you with support from an expert in that area.
Although you’ll be studying independently, you won’t be on your own. Many colleagues will have expertise to share and you’ll be part of exciting conversations about work in this area. You’ll have the opportunity to benefit from our relationships with scholars in other universities in the UK and overseas, as well as local schools and colleges.
Career opportunities:
Completing your PhD offers an opportunity to contribute to the field. Our doctoral community in the department is international and collegial, consisting of researchers who are established in their careers and those who have more recently completed their undergraduate and postgraduate study. This diversity is a plus because you can exchange experience and views, learning from and supporting each other.
Many of our graduates stay in academia. However, the understanding of education that you develop through your PhD, may open up opportunities within educational management and administration or with organisations that address social justice or other educational issues. For example, some graduates work for charities such as the Sutton Trust which addresses educational disadvantage.
Whatever you decide to do, the insights you'll gain from this degree will help you to see the world from a new perspective and develop a network of connections with academics and professionals from a diverse range of backgrounds.
