Program Objectives

The aim of the PhD program in Psychology is to train the next generation of researchers in the field of Psychology. The program focuses on developing the skills necessary for graduates to become independent researchers at post-doctoral level. The program comprises several areas of specialization; however, candidates will have to propose projects within the specialist areas within the supervisor’s fields of expertise.

Doctoral students are expected to design and execute an independent original research project and produce a Thesis. Through their research project students are expected to evidence an original contribution to knowledge, develop or apply innovative research or intervention methods, and as a result advance scientific knowledge in an area of Psychology.

Specific aims of the program are to:

  • Develop students’ in depth understanding and critical analysis of current literature and research methodology in the field of Psychology.
  • Enhance students’ research skills and facilitate the development of expertise relevant to their research specialization area.
  • Educate students in how to disseminate research findings, through publishing in academic journals and/or presenting their work in academic conferences and seminars.
  • Prepare students to conduct high quality and internationally recognized independent research.

Admissions Criteria

  • Stage 1 – Written application
  • Stage 2 – Interview

Regulations for application proposal

  • Purpose - The proposal provides the School and potential research supervisors with a clear indication of the topic in which the applicant is interested. It also gives an indication of the student’s ability to identify and develop an interesting research question. Most potential supervisors will consider research proposals as preliminary indicators of the applicant’s area of interest and will not necessarily assume that the proposal defines exactly the research that the student will undertake. The proposal should be linked to a specific potential supervisor research area (note that applications that fall outside the areas of expertise of the supervisory team will not be considered)
  • Word length - We recommend that the proposal is between 2000 and 3000 words. The candidate needs to provide a word count at the beginning of the proposal. The word count should include all text and tables used in the proposal (references are not part of the word count). PROPOSALS WITH MORE THAN 3000 WORDS WILL NOT BE EVALUATED!

Structure

The proposal should be structured using the following headers and content.

  • Abstract (maximum 250 words)
  • Background and rationale (maximum 1500 words)
  • Methods and plan of analysis (maximum 1000 words).
  • Statement of contribution to research and practice (maximum 250 words).
  • References
The proposals will only be accepted if written in English (UK). Candidates are required to pay particular attention to tone (an academic tone and writing in the passive voice are essential) and grammar (grammar and spelling mistakes will be taken into consideration when making a decision regarding the proposal). All proposals are assessed by the Departmental Doctoral Programs Committee and when appropriate by another member of staff with extensive expertise in the research area of the proposal.

Submission of a proposal does not automatically guarantee invitation for Interview.
