Durham's Sociology program is built upon four foundational research themes within the Department. We encourage applications for our research degrees from students whose thesis interests align with these areas and where faculty supervision is available. Our key research themes encompass: Social Justice and Community Studies, Theoretical Approaches to Health and Society, Inequality in Higher Education, and the Study of Violence and Abuse

Qualification Requirements
Admissions decisions are based on your suitability for postgraduate research and the Department's ability to supervise your proposed topic. Our minimum entry requirement for Postgraduate Research is normally an upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) although evidence of research skills and/or experience is useful. You will need to provide the following documentation:
Current CV
a research proposal, no longer than 2,000 words in length (excluding bibliography), which specifies a topic of study, aims and objectives, proposed research methods and ethical considerations
two letters of reference
transcripts of your previous degree(s). Currently we require a UKVI / IELTS score of 7 (with no component under 6.5). If you have not reached this level, you can be admitted to study a pre-sessional English Language course, with the length depending on your current UKVI / SELT IELTS score (must be over 5.5, with no component under 5). TOEFL iBT - 102 with no component under 25
