The School welcomes applications from students from a range of backgrounds and disciplines and will endeavour to direct applicants to the most appropriate route into higher research degrees. Whilst applicants will usually hold a first degree that is recognised by the British Psychological Society (BPS) that bestows Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) those from other disciplines but with work experience relevant to psychology and those holding degrees from overseas institutions are also encouraged to apply.
Applicants are encouraged to discuss their applications with the Research Degrees Tutors who will identify supervisors with whom an application can be prepared. An application will consist of a 1,000 word proposal outlining the area of research, the potential findings and their application. The proposal should include the methodology for the work and whilst a full proposal outlining the three year plan for research is not required, applicants are expected to identify the first study/phase of the work and the potential for expanding this into a full Doctorate level Research Programme.
