PhD Education

Aberystwyth University

Established in 1892, the School of Education at Aberystwyth University is one of the oldest Education departments in the UK. Our mission is to combine the best of our traditions for academic excellence with the most up-to-date methods in teaching, student engagement and research. The School offers both MPhil and PhD degrees. These are research-based degrees, in which students undertake individual research projects under close academic supervision from within the department. They can be studied full or part-time. The PhD normally takes three years of full-time research (five years part-time), after which students complete and submit a dissertation of 80-100,000 words.
