Doctoral degrees

The IOE's Doctoral School is the largest in the field of education in the UK. The Doctoral School provides a stimulating community for students and academics, working in one of the world's most distinguished hubs for research in the social sciences.

A range of research degrees are offered by the IOE:

PhD in Education - a traditional research project carried out independently with supervisory support from a member of the IOE's academic staff.
Doctor in Education (EdD) - an international, flexibly-delivered, professional doctorate combining a substantial taught element with independent research.
Doctor in Educational Psychology - a professional doctorate for those with an established background in education psychology.
All Doctoral students receive highly respected training in research methodologies as part of their program.

Research focused Masters Degrees are available.

Fee structure

As tuition fees are revised annually, and have not yet been set for 2011/12, students are recommended to check for current information, and to return regularly for updates on tuition fees.

Scholarships

The IOE has its own prestigious scholarships scheme - the Centenary Scholarships - which was established in 2002 to celebrate the Institute's 100th birthday. These scholarships are awarded to students domiciled outside of Europe, and are generous full scholarships which remit tuition fees and provide a stipend to cover most living expenses.

A range of other scholarships are also available, including from the Commonwealth Commission in a range of IOE Masters subjects. Students from India are encouraged to apply.

Campus and facilities

The IOE is located in the heart of central London in the beautiful and historic Bloomsbury district. Home to the British Library, the British Museum and a short walk to the famous theatres, restaurants and galleries of London's West End, Bloomsbury is the intellectual and cultural heart of the city. On campus, the Sir Peter Newsam Library at the IOE is the largest education library in Europe.

Student accommodation

IOE students are fortunate to have a range of options when deciding where to live in London. To help you make the best choice, the IOE has a team of accommodation and welfare support staff who can offer advice and assistance. Some of the options are listed below:
