Overview

The PhD Learning and Education programme from Aarhus University covers a multidimensional research area, ranging from educational research to interdisciplinary approaches (such as sociological, historical, anthropological, psychological, and philosophical perspectives) to learning and education. Projects under the program are mostly, though not exclusively, empirically based, and must be grounded in more fundamental theoretical and/or theoretical questioning and methodological reflexivity.

The program also includes projects with an intervention-oriented approach. Ranging from politics of education, school management and internationalisation to processes of becoming among pre-schoolers and special education, epistemological and philosophical approaches to education and learning, history of education, and studies of migration, intercultural diversity and minority education, this program covers a range of themes and perspectives on learning and education, within and beyond Denmark.

Examples of employment after graduation:

Many graduates will pursue university research careers within the fields related to their PhD projects. Others find employment in the public educational sector, other public institutions, NGO’s or in the private sector. The program also enables graduates to respond to professional responsibilities that include, evaluation, administration, policy work and research design related to different aspects of education.
