Graduate Training and Transferable Skills
The Faculty's Doctoral programmes aim to give students a wide range of knowledge and skills. These skills are vital to increase our students employability once they are qualified from their PhD and EdD. Graduate Training at the Faculty of Education includes students learning about the topics and methods of research and a range of other sessions throughout their MPhil/MEd and PhD/EdD years of study.
