Summary
The Department of Public Health & Primary Care encompasses a broad range of themes (e.g. from Genetic Epidemiology to Behaviour and Health, from Health Services Research to Non-communicable Disease Epidemiology etc) and methods (e.g. quantitative methods, qualitative research, systematic reviews, functional genomics etc). PhD projects are typically available at each of the Units within the Department. Interdisciplinary research is also encouraged, whether within the Department or with other local or international collaborators.
The aim of the PhD course is to provide a sound foundation in study design and conduct, data acquisition and handling, quality issues, statistics, discussion of research ethics, issues of intellectual property, multidisciplinary team working, access to a variety of research settings and dissemination of findings. In addition to standard applications, there are opportunities for PhD training on specific projects throughout the year. The PhD can be undertaken by full-time or part-time study.
Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
| Level | RQF Level 8 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK Good II.i Honours Degree. If your degree is not from the UK, please check International Qualifications to find the equivalent in your country. All PhD applicants are expected to have undertaken training or had experience in epidemiology, biostatistics or another subject relevant to their proposed topic of study. Students without such a background are encouraged to do the MPhil in Population Health Sciences before undertaking their doctoral studies. It is unlikely that students without this level of training will be accepted for a PhD. If you are contemplating a PhD in the Department of Public Health and Primary Care you need to identify a researcher who is working in an area of research of mutual interest and is willing to be your supervisor. We, therefore, encourage you to find out about the research programmes within the department by background reading and looking at our website. You should then contact potential supervisors to find out about the possibility of working with them or someone in their group. Applications for a PhD in the Department of Public Health and Primary Care are rarely accepted without a named supervisor. |
