Education Research Degrees

Embark on your journey of intellectual growth. Ignite your curiosity and create a lasting impact through educational research.

At Chichester, we are proud of the wide range of important educational topics that we research, across all age groups. As well as publishing this work in books and academic papers, we use it in our own teaching and supervision to ensure that our students have the best possible experience with us.

Our research students also benefit from links with our wide-ranging partnership of schools, including the University of Chichester Academy Trust.

The standard requirement for an MPhil/PhD is a first or upper-second class honours degree and/or a relevant master’s degree. Candidates with other qualifications are considered on an individual basis, and we particularly value non-standard applicants currently working in the education sector.

All students are interviewed by their potential supervisor(s) and a Research Degree Coordinator or nominated other.
