The School of Education and Continuing Studies is advertising for two PhD studentships. These are 3-year studentships covering payment of home/EU level fees. The studentships comprise a package of approximately six hours teaching-contact in each week of the 24 teaching weeks in each year. This teaching is currently paid at £43.20 per contact-hour (subject to a yearly increment change). Some or all of this teaching may be replaced by a package of paid teaching-support activities of equivalent value.
Project description

-
Digital Society and Education

Childhood, Health and Culture

Pedagogy, Policy and Practice in Education
Applications are welcomed for projects aligned to these clusters.
