As a graduate, you may be considering further studies to extend your area of professional interest or research.  The School of Education at the University of New England, offers a range of postgraduate study programs.

Students enrolled in research degrees (MEd (Hons), PhD or EdD) within the School of Education, are required to develop a detailed research proposal within the first six months (MEd (Hons)) or 12 months if a part-time candidate, and within the first 12 months (PhD) or 24 months if a part-time candidate.

The EdD proposal will be developed within six months after initial enrolment. The School has developed a booklet ( Submission and Presentation of Formal Research Proposal - Guidelines) to assist you as you prepare your research proposal.  You may also like to visit the Research Services homepage, for additional information and assistance.

A portal for UNE HDR students and researchers provides you with helpful information and links to resources.
