Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Programme in Education
The Doctoral Programme in Education aims to develop an understanding of
research, public policy and educational practice, and the relationships among them. It begins with a study of specific courses followed by rigorous research leading to a
dissertation.
The course work gives students
the opportunity to study individualized courses that
are tailored to suit their research
interests. These could be a combination of courses
designed within the Department
of Education and those chosen from courses across
disciplines offered by other departments of the University
of Delhi, including courses on qualitative and quantitative
research methods. The doctoral program is based on the
premise that rigorous research will help develop a cadre of
professionals who can develop specialised
knowledge in areas of educational
practice and public
policy. The programme prepares students to assume roles as university
faculty members, senior-level educational leaders, professional practitioners,
policy makers, and
researchers.
Prospective students should investigate the
research interests of the Department
faculty, and discuss courses that can be offered in order to complete the application
for admission.
