Our department has recently developed expertise in mental health research. This innovative field explores diverse populations and conditions through various methodologies including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), behavioral experiments, surveys, and clinical interviews.
Key studies have focused on emotion management and cognitive processing in stroke patients with aphasia, the relationship between sleep quality and mental health through thought suppression mechanisms, and connections between body image concerns during pregnancy and maternal-fetal bonding.
Current investigations include therapeutic approaches for trauma in at-risk women and juvenile offenders, emotional well-being in autism spectrum disorders and other neurodevelopmental conditions, caregiver mental health, eating disorder risk factors related to body image, digital social prescribing via mobile apps, and psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Qualification Requirements
As part of the online application we require a research proposal. We are not looking for a fully worked out 3-year research programme, but we need a summary of the topic that you propose to address that includes key previous research in the area, a statement of your broad aims and specific questions, and some information on the methods that you propose to use to tackle the questions. Research proposals are typically 2-3 pages in length and should be uploaded as word documents in the 'research proposal' section of the online application. We expect applicants to formulate this proposal in consultation with the staff member who will potentially supervise the work. For this reason, it is important that you contact a potential supervisor to discuss your research plans before submitting a formal application , Once your application has been received, we will interview you to determine your suitability for a postgraduate research degree. For overseas applicants this will typically be done over the phone or via Skype.
