The Doctor of Philosophy of the Faculty of Education is a student-centred program designed to enable students to pursue their chosen areas of research in focussed and concerted ways. The program is one in which a diversity of research approaches are taught and valued. It is also a program on which shared experiences are offered as the basis on which to build a community devoted to scholarly exchange and inquiry. Students are offered opportunities to gain experiences as researchers, teachers, and academic citizens of the University community.
