Profile
Christopher Hudson
The decision to pursue a doctorate in education at the University of Melbourne was a natural progression of my positive learning experience in the Master’s. I was eager to delve deeper into specifics of rural school leadership and what it meant to lead rural schools well. The University of Melbourne has a reputation for academic excellence and for me, the faculty’s dedication to impactful educational leadership research made it the ideal place to pursue my doctoral studies and contribute to shaping the future of rural school leadership.
