Postgraduate Research Degrees
Postgraduate Research Degrees
The Nursing & Healthcare School has a thriving community of postgraduate research students, from both the United Kingdom and overseas. Postgraduate research students can study towards a PhD or MSc by Research.
Our Postgraduate research students come from a range of clinical backgrounds, especially nursing and physiotherapy. Students undertake projects within our two main clinical research themes; Palliative and End of Life Care and Cancer Survivorship.
All students receive two academic supervisors. Students also receive research training, most of which is provided by the Graduate School of the College of Medicine, Veterinary and Life Sciences.
Students are also encouraged to present papers from their research as well as presenting at external meetings, conferences and other appropriate events. We support students’ networking through shared offices, writing retreats, social events and academic programmes.
We accept applications at any time in the year and have two yearly intakes: January and October. For details on how to apply for a postgraduate research degree see the link below:
