This is a four year PhD programme for students who:

have not previously studied research methods
have studied research methods but not in the UK

In this programme, the first year is a foundation year designed to prepare you for the following PhD programme.

This will include completing taught research methods units from our MRes in Health & Social Care , developing a research proposal with your supervision team and English language tuition (if English is not your first language).

We also offer a standard three year PhD programme (as well as MPhil ) for students who do not require the foundation year.
