PhD Philosophy, politics and ethics

The University of Brighton welcomes PhD research in philosophy, politics and ethics through its specialist research Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics and Ethics (CAPPE).

CAPPE has an unrivalled reputation for fostering scholarship through its educational programme, helping numerous students through from undergraduate to postgraduate taught and research study. We have an active recruitment and a record of success with the AHRC techn? funding scheme and are interested in applications from postgraduate research students throughout the year.

As a PhD student you will find supervision and a dedicated community in one of our research areas: applied philosophy and ethics; critical theory and radical politics; and social movements and global politics.

We also offer professional PhD programmes to students from professional backgrounds (in the arts, the public sector and the medical profession) who already have experience and wish to consolidate their knowledge in a more formal manner.
