Course summary
OVERVIEW
All of the Academic Divisions in the?Faculty of Health, Education and Society invite Research applications from graduates in Sociology, Psychology, or similar disciplines. This MPhil/ PhD / PhD by Published Works programme offers an excellent route to expand your knowledge and research skills. Undertaking a Research degree is an exciting opportunity but can also be quite daunting as there are lots of stages to think about including application, arrival, admission, expectations, and progression to name but a few. At the University of Northampton, we believe it is important that, although our research students are working on individual projects, they are not working in isolation. We offer a range of opportunities for training and developing skills. Also, you will be supported by a team of supervisors and ongoing peer support. Successful defence of the final thesis will provide you with the highest level of degree that any UK university can award; a PhD qualification is respected around the world and can offer an excellent opportunity for career progression in a range of fields.
Course Details
In this subject area, we particularly welcome applicants who wish to focus their research on the following:

Research degrees allow you to specialise while also improving your technical abilities.

Candidates for a research degree perform original research, undertaking investigations that add to our current knowledge. You will get general, discipline-based, and project-specific training while creating and establishing research projects, allowing you to conduct your research work successfully and autonomously. We will help you network with respected academics, researchers, and professionals in your sector. Conferences, seminars, and workshops provide opportunities to meet like-minded people, possible collaborators, and future mentors.
All students are supported by a supervisory staff chosen for their competence and experience. Wherever feasible, your team will be involved in your growth from recruitment through graduation, providing you with stability and consistency as your study progresses.
