Print version

Course overview

Monash is committed to supporting and promoting high quality research, and has built a reputation for conducting research with significant impact both in Australia and overseas. The Education PhD is a supervised program designed to allow a student to conceptualise and implement a major research project on a topic of personal interest.

The thesis should offer a significant contribution to knowledge in the discipline concerned and demonstrate the student's capacity to carry out independent research. That knowledge can lead to the improvement of professional teaching practice by extending understanding, expertise and skills of students through the application of research to pressing educational problems and issues. The PhD program may be undertaken in the principal areas of research offered by the faculty. These include early childhood, primary and secondary education; gifted education; inclusive and special education; information and communication technology in education; international education; leadership and policy development; literacy studies; LOTE; mathematics and science education; music education; school and organisational leadership; work and learning studies; educational and developmental psychology; counselling; mentoring and coaching; professional development studies; teaching English as a foreign or second language; and sport and outdoor recreation.
