Find your course

A doctoral psychology programme allows you to research a particular topic, developing expertise. You can choose a PhD project in any of the sub-disciplines of psychology; availability depends on your choice of institution. Under supervision you will engage in research activities and develop in-depth knowledge of your chosen subject; your final thesis must demonstrate evidence of original thought. You require good academic qualifications as well as evidence of research experience. On completion of your PhD you can seek employment in your specialised field or continue with academic research.
