PhD/MPhil Health Services Research

The School of Health Sciences is committed to developing the future research, practice and policy leaders for the healthcare sector. With world class researchers and experienced practitioners leading our courses, students graduate with a high level of skill in research methods and in the implementation of evidence-based care. Academic expertise in the School spans a broad range of healthcare disciplines, methodological disciplines and professional areas, creating an environment where researchers and students from diverse backgrounds research, learn and work together.

Research-active staff engage in wide-ranging projects and collaborative research with academic institutions nationally (e.g. University College London, Imperial College, Universities of Newcastle, Leeds, Aberdeen) and internationally (e.g., Universities of Melbourne, Toronto, Ottawa, Singapore, Brunei and the University of California, LA). There are also productive links with service user groups, government bodies and NGOs.
