Our postgraduate training covers programmes at Masters and at PhD level. Our Masters are designed around our research strengths, thereby ensuring that they provide a rigorous and challenging programme of study that is led by disciplinary experts.
Our School PhD community consists of over 200 researchers pursuing PhDs by research and by research in combination with professional training on our taught doctorates. You can find details of the unique set of taught doctorates that we offer via this link to our Centre for Applied Psychology (CAP), which is a centre of excellence in training mental health professionals.
Our PhDs by research, and indeed all of our postgraduate programmes, benefit from the training and research opportunities that are provided by our extensive links with local hospitals and clinics, local schools and nurseries, other University departments, industrial companies and departments of local and national government, both in this country and overseas.
