It is positioned as the first stage of a 1+3.5 study pathway, leading from the master’s year to a subsequent PhD (DPhil) in Educational Sciences.
The scholarship is tied to study in the Education field at Oxford and is intended to develop the tools and concepts needed for advanced research in educational settings.
