Doctoral Programme
The HEA Doctoral Programme forms part of the Academy’s strategy to undertake research to develop pedagogical knowledge and evidence-based practice in HE. Seven Doctoral studentships are available in the academic year 2012 - 2013.
The Academy invites supervisors in UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to bid to host one or more of these doctoral studentships under the following conditions:
Research Requirements
The proposed topic should be discipline specific learning and teaching research or interdisciplinary/generic pedagogical research and should have a clear benefit to either practice or to policy on practice. The research should be aligned with HEA themes which cover the broad areas of
- Employability
- Assessment and Feedback
- Flexible Learning
- Internationalisation
- Retention and Success, including widening access, gender, and transition issues
- Reward and Recognition
- Education for Sustainable development
A supportive environment for the student and completion and delivery of research outcomes are a high priority for the Academy. It would be advantageous for the students to be hosted in an established group.
Dissemination of research outcomes are fundamental to both the Academy and the wider community and to the success of this scheme and, must, therefore be identified clearly in any application.
This call closed on Friday 10th February 2012. Please email any questions relating to the Doctoral Programme to doctoralprogramme@heacademy.ac.uk

The next call for proposals is anticiplated to be from mid-summer 2012.
