PHD1

Doctor of Philosophy in Education Policy and Management

What is the program about?
In the increasingly dynamic and complex world of education, a crucial need exists for better knowledge about how schools and school systems, from early childhood to higher education, can be organized and led most effectively. We need to reach deeper understandings of how policies, politics, and the law can advance the twin goals of excellence and equity, how educational institutions and systems can best acquire and use resources, how leaders can support teacher development and student achievement, and how education policymakers and leaders can make best use of information from student assessments, program evaluations, and analytical research. This knowledge should be based on thoughtful reasoning and solid evidence; it should be theoretical in scope but also have clear implications for education practice.

The PhD in Education Policy and Management aims to train researchers and educational leaders who have systemic and critical understanding of the discipline. Graduates will be able to make original and significant contributions to knowledge in the field of education policy and management, and will be capable of qualitatively transforming the education system at the level of an organization, region or country.

What specific knowledge does the program equip me with?
In the program, students will consider how laws and policies impact the reform of educational systems and how they support or impede improvements in curriculum, teaching, and student achievement. Furthermore, students will analyze the political, social, economic and legal dynamics that affect policy development and implementation. Upon the successful completion the degree requirements, all graduates of the PhD in Education Policy and Management program will be able to:

  • demonstrate systemic and critical understanding of a substantial and complex body of knowledge at the frontier of a discipline
  • engage in critical reflection, synthesis and evaluation of theories, methodologies and empirical results for solving fundamental research issues in the area of specialization – educational policy and management
  • demonstrate expert, specialized cognitive, technical and research skills in the discipline to function as an independent and intellectually autonomous researcher who is able to make a substantial contribution to a discipline or area of professional practice in the sphere of education
  • become critical leaders, policymakers and scholars who are able to professionally and practically apply theories of education policy and management in professional practice
  • contribute to the development of society and the improvement of the education system through scientific and educational activities and managerial leadership
  • interpret and communicate knowledge of education that informs research, policy, and managerial practice to professional and expert community to promote quality and equity in education.
  • strictly follow academic, pedagogical and leadership ethical principles in research, teaching and managerial practice.
