Summary
Our PhD/MPhil Social Work programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Social Work.
This postgraduate research programme in social work gives you the opportunity to work with internationally renowned scholars engaged in innovative research that will make a difference in people's lives and in health and social care.
We particularly welcome students from all health and social care disciplines who have an interest in exploring related subject areas.
4-year PhD (full time and full time distance learning options only)
This is a four year PhD programme for students who:
-
have not previously studied research methods
-
have studied research methods but not in the UK
-
have limited English language skills
-
have not completed a master's degree.
In this programme, the first year is a foundation year designed to prepare you for the following three years of the PhD programme.
This will include completing taught research methods units from our MRes in Health & Social Care , developing a research proposal with your supervision team and English language tuition (if English is not your first language).
We also offer a standard three year PhD programme (as well as MPhil ) for students who do not need to do the foundation year.
