Career opportunities

Graduates from Monash's Faculty of Education doctoral programs occupy senior positions in education and research in many countries around the world within both the public and private sector.

Why study Doctor of Philosophy?

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 PhD is a supervised program designed to allow a student to conceptualise and implement a major research project on a topic of personal interest.

Candidates are expected to make a significant contribution to human knowledge and theory. 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.

Students undertake a program of supervised research and submit a thesis. The thesis should offer a significant contribution to knowledge in the discipline concerned and demonstrate the student's capacity to carry out independent research.

The PhD program may be undertaken in the faculty's principal areas of research including: 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; counselling psychology; mentoring and coaching; professional development studies; teaching English as a foreign or second language; sport and outdoor recreation; or other approved area.
