The Higher Education Academy invites applications to its Mike Baker doctoral programme. Funding is available for doctoral studentships that support the academy’s research strategy of developing pedagogical knowledge and evidence-based practice in higher education.
 
The following conditions apply:
 
  • the proposed topic should be discipline-specific learning and teaching research or interdisciplinary and generic pedagogical research, and should have a clear benefit to either practice or to policy on practice;
  • a supportive environment for the student and completion and delivery of research outcomes are a high priority;
  • dissemination of research outcomes are fundamental to both the HEA and the wider community and should be identified clearly in any application.

Studentships are intended for students who hold a masters degree and are capable of undertaking high-quality research. Supervisors in UK higher education institutions that subscribe to the HEA are eligible to apply.

Funding will be provided for up to three years of full-time study. Funding covers fees, maintenance and research skills development and is worth £20,172 per year in London, or £18,172 per year outside of London.
