As a research student you'll become part of our thriving academic community. Explore the staff, facilities and more at the Centre for Education and School Partnerships. A member of staff, expert in your chosen field, is directly responsible for guiding and supporting your research programme.

Why Education at LSBU? 2nd for graduate prospects in Education in London (Sunday Times League Table 2020) and top 3 for career prospects amongst London universities (Guardian University League Tables 2020).

The Participatory Autism Research Collective (PARC) started at LSBU.Research Excellence Framework (REF) awarded 75% of our research 3 out of 4 for 'environment' - quality that is defined as conducive to producing research of international excellence. Advantages of an MRes / PhD Undertaking an MRes or PhD means making an original contribution to knowledge. They are distinct from a taught Masters in that your final output will be an extended dissertation or creative project relevant to your field of interest, rather than module-based coursework and exams.

You can complete an MRes in one year or part-time over two years, as opposed to a full PhD which can take up to five years. Students are expected to self-direct their learning with support from a supervisory team.

The School also offers a Professional Doctorate in Education, which consists of two years taught classes, followed by three years independent research.

Employability Research skills development All research students are required to participate in a Key Skills Development programme aimed at developing transferable skills in addition to those employed in carrying out research. Training in research methods is available through frequent research seminars.

When necessary the research student can follow, in part, relevant Masters courses available within the School and in particular units on research methodology. In some cases, research students are encouraged to follow other courses available within the University or externally aimed at improving their general expertise in their chosen areas.

In addition, they may be encouraged to follow language courses aimed at improving their oral and written skills - both essential in their future careers.

Transferable skills A research degree will equip you with many transferable skills. The self-discipline, the demand for clear analytical thinking, and the ability to turn criticism of others work into something constructive of your own, all constitute a unique training for almost any kind of career. The excitement and satisfaction of finding new facts, a new idea, or a new way of looking at something can be highly rewarding.

Attending conferences Research students are often sponsored to attend national and international conferences to meet leading scientists in their fields and to present their research findings. The progress of all research students is formally monitored by the University's Research Degree Committee.

Employability Service We are University of the Year for Graduate Employment for the second year in a row - The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018, 2019.

At LSBU, we want to set you up for a successful career. During your studies – and for two years after you graduate – you’ll have access to our Employability Service, which includes:

An online board where you can see a wide range of placements: part-time, full-time or voluntary. You can also drop in to see our Job Shop advisers, who are always available to help you take the next step in your search. Our Careers Gym offering group workshops on CVs, interview techniques and finding work experience, as well as regular presentations from employers across a range of sectors. Our Student Enterprise team can also help you start your own business and develop valuable entrepreneurial skills.

LSBU postgraduate research degrees

At LSBU we offer the following postgraduate research degrees through our London Doctoral Academy . These degrees are designed to help you become an innovative and critical expert in your chosen field:

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

• Education Doctorate (EdD) ; and
• Health and Social Care
• Masters by Research, MA (Res) or MSc (Res)

More information on specific degrees and their entry requirements is available on our Course finder and List of Awards .

Structure and timing of your degree

The formal output of these research degrees is normally a thesis or collection of written papers (depending on the programme of study). The outcome of your degree programme will be decided by examination, comprising two parts. The first is an initial assessment of your written work; the second a viva voce oral examination, which will consider all aspects of your research and your written work.

Your thesis will set the context of and current and past developments in your chosen research area. It explains your original ideas, the methodology you have selected, your evidence and analysis, and your review and final conclusions. Importantly, the thesis will set out your original contribution to knowledge, which is the basis for your degree. You will be guided by a supervisor or supervisory team, depending on the course, who will support your development, provide technical expertise and challenge your thinking.

The PhD target timeline is three or five years to thesis submission - depending on whether you choose full or part-time – plus an additional year for assessment and ratification.

Professional Doctorate

A Professional Doctorate requires extra time for the initial taught modules in the first two years. Following these, the research element of the programme will take between three and five years until submission of your thesis.

Master by Research

The Master by Research programmes normally take between one to two years to thesis submission depending on whether you choose to study full-time or part-time.

Supporting your research

Your progression is assessed by a series of School Panel Reviews that act as a gateway for progression to the next stage, forming an important part of the learning process for both students and supervisors.

This means gaps in knowledge, skills or research development are identified early, so there is time for you to improve and get support where needed. The Panels also give you practice in presenting and defending your research, so you can be confident you will perform well in the final  viva voce  examination.

Our supportive systems at  The London Doctoral Academy ensure you stay on track with your research project.

Bue/lsbu joint phd programmes.

The British University in Egypt and London South Bank University have established a full partnership, which includes research and enterprise collaborative activities in addition to validation of The British University in Egypt's programmes. One of the main pillars underpinning such research collaborative activities is the joint supervision of PhD students. It is envisaged that BUE assistant lecturers (M.Sc. holders) could benefit from a joint PhD framework that allows them to study at LSBU, on a part-time basis, while being engaged in their teaching responsibilities at The British University in Egypt. 

Such an opportunity shall provide the Teaching Assistants with the necessary training, as future module leaders in a UK education system, in addition to the needed resources and access to the state-of-the-art facilities that might be required for completing their research. Speciality areas that are expected to support BUE TAs shall be identified in light of mutual research interests and ongoing collaborative research activities.

Procedure for Applying
