Doctorate/PhD
Monash University supports, promotes and conducts high quality research that holds significant impact in Australia and overseas. Graduates from Monash Education's doctoral programs occupy senior positions in education and research in many countries around the world within both the public and private sector.
A PhD in Education takes the form of the Monash Doctoral Program – a PhD for the 21st century. The program enables you to complete extensive, independent research on an agreed topic under the supervision of at least two expert academics. Your research will aim to improve teaching practice and extend your expertise and skills relating to pressing educational issues. The thesis should make a significant contribution to human knowledge and theory, and demonstrate your ability to carry out independent research. The core research project is enhanced by professional development activities or coursework units that provide you with the skills required to make an impact in academia, industry, government or the wider community.
