Postgraduate Research Studentships
Centre for Research in Education and Educational Technology (CREET) Based in 
Milton Keynes

The Centre for Research in Education and Educational Technology, at the Open 
University, has an international reputation for the quality of its research and its 
teaching.  Part of our success is due to the importance we attach to our 
postgraduate research students.  Providing research students with a supportive 
environment and excellent research facilities ensures a future supply of first class 
researchers. CREET offers you a unique opportunity to study the theory, 
application and practice of Education, Technology Enhanced Learning, and 
Languages and Literacies with guidance from world-class experts in the field.  If 
you feel that the challenge of research in this exciting and interesting area is for 
you and you have the drive and intellectual curiosity to pursue postgraduate 
research, then we look forward to hearing from you!

STUDENTSHIPS
You should have, or expect to obtain, at least a 2.1 in an undergraduate degree or 
Masters degree in psychology, computer science, education or other appropriate 
discipline.

CREET is offering a limited number of fully funded and partially funded full-time 
studentships for a 1 + 3 programme.  Half-funded studentships are also available 
for applicants who have already secured an external sponsor and you should 
indicate this in your application when you apply.  Applicants who are able to fully 
fund themselves are very welcome to apply to CREET.

CREET has an active, internationally-renowned research community. The 
international excellence of CREET's research has been recognised in each of the 
last three national research assessment exercises.  Equally, its teaching is 
nationally rated as 'excellent' (2001 Teaching Quality Assessment); and the 
Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) has designated CREET as an 
approved outlet for postgraduate research training.  Our MRes, PhD and Doctorate 
in Education programmes all have ESRC recognition.

There is currently a vibrant international community of students studying our MRes 
and PhD programmes.  The Open University provides excellent support for 
students and offers a full range of training in computer, library and presentation 
skills.  Students are normally expected to live within commuting distance of Milton 
Keynes.
