We are committed to developing our postgraduate students into competent and critical educational researchers able to conduct rigorous and socially impactful research using a variety of methodological approaches. - Education and Lifelong Learning at Goldsmiths is recognised nationally and internationally for its innovative, original, and publicly relevant education research. We encourage research proposals in any of the areas in which we have expertise, subject to supervisor availability. - We are home to about 40 home and international research students. Many of our research students are also practising professionals carrying out research related to their work. Students study either full-time or part-time. - Students become members of the Research Centres of Education and Lifelong Learning and they're encouraged to contribute along with staff and other visiting scholars to their seminar series and to the Department’s rich research culture. Additional facilities for research students are provided by the Goldsmiths Graduate School. - Education and Lifelong Learning also participates in two prestigious Doctoral Training Partnerships. - We are particularly interested to hear from those who would like to work within areas such as: Art practice and learning Children’s literature and education Curriculum policy and practice Social justice and education Race, politics and education Progressive pedagogies Multilingualism Global education Education governance Education policy Early years education Comparative education Educational research ethics as situated practice
Getting in
As the university states it
You should normally have (or expect to be awarded) a taught Masters in a relevant subject area. You might also be considered if you aren’t a graduate or your degree is in an unrelated field, but have relevant experience and can show that you have the ability to work at postgraduate level. We accept a wide range of international qualifications. If English isn’t your first language, you will need an IELTS score (or equivalent English language qualification) of 6.5 with a 6.5 in writing and no element lower than 6.0 to study this programme.
