Overview

There are full-time and part-time routes available. Currently the overall expected contact time for the part-time route is thirty days at Oxford per year, but the majority of this will take place across the three eight week terms, and will include supervision meetings and core research training.

Features

Part-time Education students at University of Oxford will normally be expected to be in the department every Thursday during term time in the first year and every Wednesday during term time in the second year.

In later years there is greater flexibility and contact time will be agreed between the student and their supervisor.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

You will work closely with supervisors on literature review and study design for the thesis, and you are encouraged to make the most of the doctoral training and research methods provision available across the Social Sciences Division.

You can also join one or more of the department's research groups, becoming part of a vibrant educational research community with an active set of doctoral student-led events, seminars and conferences. All DPhil students are given opportunities to present their work at a variety of seminars and sessions in the department.
