PhD Psychiatry and Applied Psychology
Specific subject titles have included:
Health Psychology MSc is also available. However, it has different entry requirements.
The nature of individual projects and supervisors' expertise will determine the subject or title of your course. If you have an idea about your research studies, but are unsure which subject it should come under, please get in touch with Dr Elena Nixon, Director of Postgraduate Research for the Division of Psychiatry and Applied Psychology or contact a potential supervisor.
Some project areas do not offer all of the qualification options, so we recommend getting in touch as early as possible to clarify which project area and qualification are right for you.
For your postgraduate research degree, you'll complete a research project in your specific field of study and complete a written thesis with expert support and advice from your academic supervisor(s).
The written thesis must be no more than:
These word counts are inclusive of appendices, footnotes, tables, and bibliography.
You'll then take a verbal examination called a viva voce where you explain your project in-depth to an examination panel.
You'll gain your degree on passing your viva exam.
We are committed to providing support to postgraduate students across the course of their research studies in addition to their project supervision
Postgraduate research students will study as part of a division within the School of Medicine and each division has its own PGR representative who is there to address student concerns and feedback.
Peer support groups have been established to encourage students in all years of their studies to contribute to regular meetings covering issues such as tips for writing up and preparing for the viva. The topics are determined by the students in the group.
Further, students entering their second year of full-time study (or equivalent for part-time students) are encouraged to sign up to the formal Mentoring Scheme within the School of Medicine which offers one to one mentoring by a trained member of staff.
