Overview

PhD: Make a substantial and original contribution to knowledge in the fields of health, nursing and midwifery. Work as part of our research community in an inspiring, multidisciplinary setting. Our research encompasses researchers and research students from many health-related backgrounds and who therefore represent a range of academic and professional interests.

Our research and associated doctoral studies reflect our vibrant and diverse team of academics and practitioners. It relates to several specialist themes.

Health-related research: Workforce, patient/carer experience, stress, ageing, dementia, pain, falls, and childhood obesity.

Social care research: Marginalised communities (adult and young people), models of care, and community engagement.

We invite applications towards study for MPhil or PhD on topics within these broad areas. Established, world-leading academics support the programmes. The sheer breadth of activity here creates an inspiring environment, as well as the opportunity to share ideas with professionals from many sectors.
