Course summary

Study the PhD in Psychology with guidance from internationally recognised researchers.

Course Overview

Our postgraduate research degree (PhD) in psychology is awarded for a thesis reporting original research by a student under the supervision of typically two members of staff. Occasionally the department is also able to take on a student undertaking a PhD by Published Work.

Our programme can enable postgraduate training for a career as an academic researcher as a professional psychologist (e.g. clinical organisational and school psychologist) or as a consultant or professional in different fields of industry. In addition to subject-related knowledge a psychology research degree provides valuable transferable skills in data analysis and management written and oral communication teamwork and time management.

PhD students are initially registered for an MPhil (PhD Track) with the expectation that their registration will be upgraded to PhD contingent upon satisfactory progress. Such upgrades normally take place at the first annual review.
