Overview

The School of Psychology offers both PhD and MLitt degrees, completed primarily on the basis of a research thesis, although taught elements may be required. The School offers supervision in a wide range of research areas. Admission to a research degree is at the discretion of the potential supervisor and of the Director of Research, and is based on a proposal from the applicant folowing 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 (either single or joint honours) to at least upper second-class honours level (or equivalent).
