Our institution provides two research degree options: an MPhil or PhD, focusing on subjects, institutions, or ideas connected to social work and social care services.
At the School of Social Policy, we deliver more than just academic qualifications. Doctoral candidates can participate in numerous events such as Departmental Research Seminars, Research Center Seminars, Postgraduate Research Student Seminars, and join an active community of PhD researchers.
Our PhD programs combine structured coursework in the initial year with dedicated guidance throughout your studies, designed to support you in developing a thesis that offers meaningful and novel contributions to the field.
You may pursue a research degree through full-time, part-time, or distance learning formats.
We encourage applications across diverse research areas. Collaborative supervision, both within our Department and with other departments, is available.
