PhD in Education at University of Regina in Regina, Canada is a doctorate in Education & Teaching programme. The programme runs for 5 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 2,299 per semester (CAD 2,299 per semester for local students).
This program is the University of Regina's Doctor of Philosophy in Education, offered through the Faculty of Education. It prepares students for advanced research and leadership roles in education by combining coursework, comprehensive examinations, and a thesis based on original research, completed under the guidance of an assigned doctoral supervisor. Full completion is structured around five years of study delivered on the Regina campus. Students choose a concentration from four areas: Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Leadership, Educational Psychology, or Adult Education, allowing doctoral research to align with a specific area of educational practice or theory. The degree suits experienced educators and professionals who hold a master's degree and want to build research expertise, contribute to scholarship in their field, and pursue careers such as university teaching, education research, or senior administrative leadership within school systems or postsecondary institutions. Emphasis throughout the program is placed on developing independent research skills, including academic writing, methodology, and scholarly presentation, in preparation for a dissertation and for academic or applied research work in education.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires an already-completed Master's degree, with the program describing successful applicants as showing excellent grades in previous academic work, demonstrated research ability, and a research focus for which a suitable doctoral supervisor in the Faculty of Education is available; admission is selective and no numeric GPA cut-off is published on the program page. Applicants submit a curriculum vitae documenting at least two years of relevant professional experience, a letter of intent outlining research interests and professional goals, one academic reference, and one professional reference. The program page does not publish English-language proficiency scores; international applicants must instead meet the University of Regina Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research's general English proficiency policy, which lists accepted tests, including TOEFL and IELTS, but sets its minimum scores separately from this program's own page.
