Research degree applications

The CeNTRE has an excellent record of supporting and supervising doctoral students. At any one time, there are typically between 10 and 15 students, associated with the CeNTRE, at various stages of their studies. Their areas of interest cover a wide spectrum of technology related topics, such as the design of educational software, e-learning in on-line communities, the teaching and learning of ICT, and technology-based learning in specific knowledge domains (for example, mathematics). The CeNTRE runs a vibrant seminar programme in which we encourage doctoral students to contribute. Doctoral students benefit from the many funded projects in which the CeNTRE engages.

The CeNTRE welcomes applications from potential doctoral students. For further information about the doctoral study at the CeNTRE, contact the CeNTRE's Director Michael Hammond

Masters Programme

WIE also has an excellent M level programme offering relevance and flexibility. ICT specialist options are generally offered within the programme – there are also opportunities to take independent study units as well as a dissertation or project. Students have tackled a huge range of projects in the past, for example covering issues in teaching ICT as a subject, assessment of ICT, action research using talking books in the classroom, teaching and learning with ICT in the nursery school, lessons from the past use of ICT, children’s conceptions of computing, using ICT to teach particular subjects and so on. You will be supervised by a member of CeNTRE while you carry out a piece of research which may be literature based or a reporting of a practical innovation.
