Graduate School

HBCSE (TIFR) runs a Graduate School in Science Education. Students admitted to the School go through a programme of courses and field work or project work, followed by a dissertation on an approved topic of research leading to the degree of Ph.D. in Science Education of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, which is a Deemed University. Full time students of the Graduate School, known as Research Scholars, are entitled to a monthly scholarship and an annual contingency grant.

The rules governing admission, course requirements and the award of the degree of Ph.D. in Science Education are detailed in Subject Guidelines.

Graduate courses at HBCSE include a range of core and special courses, such as research methodology, cognitive psychology, sociology of education, history and philosophy as related to science and mathematics education, statistical methods, etc. There are also broad content based courses in science and mathematics. A representative list of Graduate Courses is available.

Seminars and colloquia round the year by staff members and visitors from India and abroad sustain a vibrant intellectual ambience at the Centre. HBCSE periodically organises national and international conferences on areas of interest in science, mathematics and technology education.
