UCL Institute of Education (IOE) offers world-leading doctoral courses in education and related social science. As a MPhil/PhD in-person or distance learning student, you will undertake a research project, working closely with a supervisory team to develop each stage of your research. Supervision takes place in-person and online (for example, using UCL Teams or UCL Zoom and email).
Students on the MPhil/PhD course carry out research in the areas of developmental psychology particularly in relation to education, mental health, special educational needs SEN and educational neuroscience.
We offer the largest group of psychologists in the UK dedicated to research in education, child and adolescent development. Neuroscience is at the cutting edge of psychology and we work in partnership with colleagues in UCL Psychology and Language Sciences and Birkbeck to extend our reach in this area.
You will also engage in research training courses and activities available from the IOE Research Training Programme, UCL Doctoral Skills Development Programme, the multi-institutional Bloomsbury Postgraduate Skills Network, and other sources. There are no residency requirements for distance learning students. The viva examination may take place in-person at UCL or online.
