My online phd journey – growing my own identity.
By Nazlin Bhimani, on 17 August 2018
In the second of these posts on the PhD journey, Dr. Chua who recently passed her viva, writes about her experience of the Online PhD at the Institute of Education, London.
I am grateful for the day I found out that the PhD was being offered online at the IOE. Doing the PhD online allowed me to be with my family and colleagues in Singapore. The PhD has changed my life and in the post below, I am going to tell you about my journey on the online programme.
My desk at home where I worked on my PhD
I remember the first time I logged into Moodle in 2015 and watched Richard Freeman, programme leader of the online PhD, introduce himself in a video. He was seated in his office and he showed us a view from his window. I do not remember the view, but I immediately had a sense of place even though I was not physically in UCL IOE – it was bizarre! I also vaguely remember one of his first posts â something about different ways of tying shoelaces. It must be an analogy for research methods as henceforth, the world of research methods opened up through Richardâs various creative, and often intriguing assignments. One of the assignments I remembered vividly was about transcribing an interview with the late Princess Diana from YouTube. It was bewildering the number of varied ways in which we produced the transcript and the discussions we had online making me realise that what had initially seemed a mundane reproduction of information, had evolved into an understanding of different subjective human experiences! It made me appreciate how research is part of our lives, and an extension of what we do to help us become who we will become.
Then, the course on information and literature searching presented a huge light-bulb moment in my research journey. This was when I met Nazlin Bhimani who gave much care through her detailed comments and feedback on our tasks. She didnât just point us to information, but she developed our research technique. We got started on mindmapping our literature review and trialling a great variety of tools, databases and software that could help us organise our data. It got me started on organising and evaluating my literature review, and I began to set up an e-filing system for my literature and my notes. This headstart in establishing an information management system was critical as I was able to readily search and retrieve articles and notes each time I needed to revise my writing. I continue to use the same system for my other research work.
My only regret is that I have not been able get to know other staff and students at CCM as I have little contact with them, apart from my supervisor Graham Welch. Graham was an excellent mentor, who always got back to me quickly with comments that more often than not, stretched my thinking. The routine of drafting and then meeting on skype helped to pace my work. I also had the opportunity to learn about the research work of some of the faculty, including Grahamsâ various national-level education projects, and the transformative research on throat cancer patients by my upgrade examiner Evangelos Himonides. During my doctoral studies, Graham made me reflect on my motivations for my research and continually prompted me on what I hoped to achieve for society. I was constantly reminded of how research must serve the greater good, and researchers have a role to play in making this world a better place.
Here are some shifts in thinking I have as a researcher.
My first and only visit to the physical library
First, for information gathering. I was and am still amazed by how much research and information gathering could be done without being in a library! In fact, I have only visited the physical IOE library once in the first year of my online MPhil/PhD. The IOE Libraryâs digital collections have grown beyond the physical library. The extensive support was invaluable for me as a long-distance learner, for they increased the efficiency of my work manyfold. The  online library guides were my constant companions during the writing process, particularly the A-Z referencing with APA guide.
Second, research is not just a personal endeavour to interpret information and uncover knowledge. The whole process is pretty much a social learning experience. To a large extent, the writing developed when there were insights inspired through interactions with others. Lacking the face-to-face interactions meant paying more attention to fellow studentsâ work on Moodle and giving more thought to my own posts since these were communicated in writing rather than verbally. Most insights were inspired through my work with colleagues, and in return, my research brought forth new understandings.
Third, our research work may impact others in ways that we might never know. I am sometimes surprised when I hear random remarks that mention a finding from my work in different contexts. Hence, researchers have a social responsibility. And we must believe that research can make this world a better place (or not). I have been inspired again and again by the impact of research at IOE reported in the media.
My thesis for binding and submission for viva
So, now that I have been awarded the PhD, looking back, the online PhD journey has been an incredible experience. My research was on growing music teacher identity. But I feel that this journey has been transformative to my own identity. For this reason, I am intensely grateful to the tutors at IOE who have made the doctorate possible for distant learners like me.
I wish so much for continued access to the amazing electronic resources in the library which has been my close buddy for the past 3.5 years in my PhD journey. It isnât just a repository of information, but it has become a friend whom I would greet first every time I went online for anything related to research. As I speak, I know our dedicated tutors are working to continue to support students with these resources post-PhD. See https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/doctoral-graduates-need-five-years-post-phd-career-support .
This blog is dedicated to Graham Welch, Richard Freeman, Nazlin Bhimani, Evangelos Himonides, David Baker, Jo Saunders, Lucy Green, Gary Ford, Hazel Croft and all who have made a positive impact on my online PhD experience, and inspired me to be a better researcher, a better person.

The 2024 Best Online Programs rankings assessed 1,752 online bachelor's and master's degree programs.
Enrolling in an online college program can often be a more affordable and flexible alternative to an in-person degree, especially for students juggling a job or family responsibilities.
While online learning increased in popularity at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, many institutions â like some ranked in the 2024 U.S. News Best Online Programs â were ahead of the curve, having offered online degree options for years.
For the 2024 Best Online Programs rankings released today, U.S. News assessed 1,752 online bachelor's and master's degree programs and ranked 1,680 of them.
These rankings do not use standardized tests , instead relying on other factors such as faculty credentials and training, services and technologies available to students, student engagement and expert opinion on the academic quality of programs. Master's degree programs, in addition to these criteria, are also ranked based on assessment of student excellence via undergraduate GPAs, acceptance rates and work experience.
Blended learning programs â a combination of both face-to-face and distance education â are not included in the rankings. To be eligible, a program needs to be predominately online, without recurrent in-person attendance requirements for instruction.
Graduate programs are categorized based on the following areas of study: non-MBA business , criminal justice , information technology, education , engineering and nursing . Online MBA programs are ranked separately from other master's business degrees. U.S. News also ranks the Best Online Programs for Veterans .
Below are some of the top online degree programs in the 2024 rankings. Shifts in the rankings can be attributed to year-to-year changes in schools' data, and elimination of the proportion of graduates who borrowed as a ranking factor. The student indebtedness indicator is now exclusively based on the average debt among graduate borrowers. Learn more about the rankings' methodologies here .

UCL-NIMH Joint Doctoral Training Program in Neuroscience
Application process.
Students who wish to be considered for admission to the UCL-NIMH Program must submit an online application through the NIH Graduate Partnerships Program (GPP) central database. The application system opens annually in August and closes in early December. For the application, students should expect to provide information on their academic history, research interest/experiences, references (3), and a personal statement. Interested applicants will need to apply through the NIH GPP Application Center . Note: The UCL-NIMH Program uses the Institutional Partnership Long Form for prospective PhD students, so it is important to make sure the correct form is completed in the GPP application portal.
Unlike most programs, the UCL-NIMH Joint Doctoral Training Program in Neuroscience requires applicants to specify areas of research interest and propose a UCL-NIH mentor pair upfront as part of the online application. In addition to the application, interested applicants are required to submit a 1-2 page research proposal that outlines their prospective research project and potential mentor pairing. Competitive applicants will greatly improve their chances of being offered acceptance if they provide a well thought out research plan, identify potential mentors at NIH and UCL, and communicate with these mentors ahead of time to assure their interest in supporting the applicants’ graduate research efforts should the applicant gain admission to the program.
The GPP application portal does not have an area for applicants to submit a research proposal so we ask applicants to send proposals separately via email to the Program Director, Janet Clark and Program Administrator, Aneka Reid . Once proposals are received it will be included with the application package. Applicants should aim to send their research proposals around the time of application submission in December or by mid-January at the latest. Applicants who do not provide a research proposal and identify research mentors at UCL and NIH will not be invited to interview for the program.
Within the application, please include the following:
- Additional Information section- indicate proposed NIH and UCL investigators and also mention whether they have been contacted to serve as mentors for your intended thesis research.
- Personal Statement section- provide a statement that explains who you are as a person, student, and scientific researcher. Additionally, please address why this program is best suited for your graduate education and development.
Pre and Post Interview Process
Applicants are typically notified of interview selection on or around mid-January. Those selected for interview will travel in person or virtually as appropriate to the NIH in February, where they will meet with their proposed NIH mentors, Program Directors and Selection Committee members. Acceptance notifications for the program are sent out in March; after which newly admitted students will need to submit an application to the UCL Doctoral School to complete student registrations. By this time, selection of the UCL mentor has been finalized and students will be interviewed again by the mentor and their department’s graduate tutors, if necessary by telephone or virtual methods. Students should expect to begin work at their NIH laboratory in the summer of their admission year and simultaneously work to expand their initial research proposal into a broader proposal that includes more on research plans, timelines and project location. It is important to note that new students typically spend at least the first two weeks in London during the fall period (September/October timeframe) to register with their appropriate UCL department. After the initial visit to London, students reside where the research directs them at either the NIH or UCL campus.
This program prides itself on maintaining strong partnerships with mentors, students and staff on both ends. We accomplish this by prioritizing communication, fostering and nurturing relationships and connecting with our students regardless of location. In summary students have the full support of their NIH mentor, UCL supervisor and Program staff to achieve their educational pursuits.
