Overview

Admission to a research degree is at the discretion of the potential supervisor, relevant programme Director(s) and of the Head of School, and is based on a proposal from the applicant following discussion with the member of staff whose academic area of interest is most appropriate (see our "Guide to Postgraduate Research" below). Candidates should have obtained a degree in psychology to at least upper second-class honours level (or equivalent). To see whether you might be interested in pursuing postgraduate research in our school, first check out the research interests of members of staff by clicking on the academic staff webpage on this site and from there consulting the pages of individual staff members.
