PhD (School of Social Sciences) Doctorate

University of Bradford

All of the Academic Divisions in the School of Social Sciences invite PhD applications. The research areas are only broadly indicative, and our staff place great store by creative and innovative approaches to issues whether they are novel or familiar – and to intellectual analysis, both established and path-breaking. Subjects we supervise include the following areas: Development Studies Peace Studies Psychology Sociology and Criminology Social Work and Social Care Undertaking a PhD is an exciting opportunity but can also be quite daunting as there are lots of stages to think about including application, arrival, admission, expectations, and progression to name but a few. At the School of Social Sciences, we believe it is important that, although our research students are working on individual projects, they are not working in isolation. We offer a range of opportunities for training, developing skills, regular supervision sessions and ongoing peer support.
