PhD student writing her dissertation research proposal

In my experience, the PhD program in Educational Studies at the Faculty of Education has been effectively designed to engage students since they start the program in a demanding and challenging environment to live a complete and integral experience. During the first year, you are 100% immersed in the course work and developing foundational research skills and understandings; and in the second year, the program offers several and sustained opportunities for research and teaching.

I have been always felt supported, guided and inspired by my supervisor, professors, and research supervisors. I do feel I am in a different position now than when I started the program. I have a more in depth understanding and reflections of the theories of my research field and I have definitely developed my research abilities. I feel I have a voice and that my voice is informed, critical and that it matters to the academic community around me.

I chose the PhD in Educational Studies at UPEI because of the reputation of the faculty. As well, I was confident I could seamlessly blend applied graduate studies research into my work as a post-secondary leader and administrator. The PhD in Educational Studies is helping me to grow as a lifelong learner. Specifically, I am looking at the post-secondary learning environment in new ways due to my research efforts and interactions with professors and fellow graduate students.

The strengths of the program include a high level of curricular customizability, an observable increase of research independence, and most importantly, personal attention shown to students by each faculty member and administrator within the Faculty of Education. At all times, I have felt supported while being encouraged to dive deeply into my research interests.

More than any other University I have come across, UPEI鈥檚 Faculty of Education embraces the broadest understanding of Education and Educational Studies. The Faculty of Education at 小黄书视频 also exemplifies a strong commitment to nurturing academic excellence and leadership. The student body within graduate studies represents a wide range of disciplines.

Being a social worker by training with nearly two decades of experience in the field of social development encompassing education, health, and livelihood concerns, I found the Ph.D. program at UPEI to be ideal given the broad research and teaching expertise of the faculty. The program鈥檚 flexibility, student-centered approach, and quality of mentoring are its biggest strengths. Mentors have high expectations of their students and at the same time offer appropriate support.
