Discover our Program

The Doctoral Program in Language, Culture and Teaching at 91��ɫ's Faculty of Education prepares scholars to pursue original interdisciplinary research at the intersection of language, culture, and educational practice. If you are ready to think deeply, research boldly, and make a lasting contribution to your field, we invite you to explore what our program has to offer.

The program welcomes both full-time and part-time students. Both routes lead to the same degree and uphold the same academic standards. Regardless of their mode of study, all doctoral students form a single cohort and take the shared doctoral seminar together in their first year. This is an important feature of the program. After the first year, full-time and part-time students follow slightly different timelines, which reflect pace and demands of each mode of study.

Full-time Students

Full-time doctoral students do not hold full-time employment during their studies. Instead, they are expected to contribute to the academic life of the Faculty and work as teaching or research assistants. Full-time students are also eligible for a number of fellowships to support their studies and are expected to actively pursue external funding opportunities to support their work.

Part-time Students

Part-time doctoral study is designed for students who are employed full-time. It allows working professionals to pursue doctoral research while maintaining their professional careers. This is an unfunded position and part-time students are not eligible for the fellowships or assistantships.

Where will the PhD take you?

A doctoral degree in education opens doors across many sectors. While some graduates pursue university teaching and research, most build careers in government, community organizations, schools, policy environments, and beyond. Career destinations include:

Faculty, research, academic positions in universities and colleges
Senior roles in educational policy, planning, and government
Research leadership in foundations and public agencies
Strategic leadership in non-profit and community organizations
Equity, diversity, and inclusion roles across public and private sectors
International education, comparative policy, and global development work
Independent scholarship, consulting, and knowledge mobilization

91��ɫ's Faculty of Graduate Studies supports career exploration through the Graduate & Postdoctoral Professional Skills (GPPS) program and the Beyond the Professoriate’s Career Training Platform, available to all doctoral students.

Program Milestones

Doctoral students progress through a structured sequence of milestones:

Doctoral Seminar in Language, Culture and Teaching
Advanced coursework
Comprehensive examination and dissertation proposal defence
Dissertation research and writing
Oral defence
