Overview

The PhD in Education Administration and Policy trains researchers to analyze and evaluate educational policies, reforms, and systems. Areas of study include gender and education, the history of education, research methodology, organizational theory, educational planning and management, the political dimensions of education, and the sociology of education. The 90-credit programme combines coursework with independent doctoral research and is estimated to take four years of full-time study, culminating in a thesis that presents original research clearly and coherently in writing.
