Programme Overview
This programme aims to help you achieve a critical conceptual understanding of practice, thought, evidence and theory relating to recent developments in language teaching and learning and to other areas of applied linguistics and communication studies, and to apply this professionally.
Unlike many other British research degrees, the Integrated PhD in Education and Communication has a substantial taught and assessed component, as well as a supervised, research-based study element.
This programme is aimed at senior professionals in education and other professional fields, who seek an advanced theoretical and analytical basis for application in their professional practice, for example, health and social care or resource management.
