Overview
The Education program from The University of Notre Dame Australia consists of four courses of study relating to research methodology and scholarly writing as well as a research component related to the education profession.
The research component can either be several peer-reviewed research papers or a thesis. As a candidate, you will collect, analyse, and interpret data in an area of education of interest to you. You will have the option of completing your doctorate 3 years full-time or the equivalent part-time.
You will be supervised by a team of at least two School of Education lecturers. If your research component is by publication, the degree is awarded based on four coursework courses and a portfolio of a minimum of four peer-reviewed journal articles. Alternatively, if your research component is by thesis the portfolio of journal articles will be replaced by a thesis of approximately 60,000 words.
