Working closely with academics, and supported by our commended Suffolk Doctoral College, you will have an excellent experience here in Ipswich as a Postgraduate Research student and make a valued contribution to our emergent research community. We work in partnership with the University of Brighton to provide PhD courses in a range of research areas.

Through studying with us, you will have access to a comprehensive Researcher Development Programme, accessible to all University of Suffolk PhD students and early career researchers. Training will primarily be available online and will provide you with an excellent series of workshops to cover wide-ranging topics relevant to you and your PhD.

The Suffolk Doctoral College also organises a number of social and training events throughout the year, where interaction between researchers of different academic disciplines is encouraged, to foster a vibrant and supportive research community.

Your PhD experience will benefit from our location on the Ipswich Waterfront and our continuous investment in our facilities. This includes a recently refurbished dedicated working space on the first floor of the Library Building, available exclusively to our PGR students and their supervisors as a social and working space.

By choosing the University of Suffolk, postgraduate students can have the opportunity to benefit from working with academic specialist supervisors in their respective fields who have an outstanding track record of leading national and international research.

As a research student at the University of Suffolk, we will help you develop the advanced analytical, critical thinking and problem-solving skills you will need for your study and future career.

At Suffolk, we accept postgraduate research students on a rolling basis. Successful applicants for postgraduate research degrees will begin their programme of study at the beginning of the next suitable month. We have detailed below each step of the application process for potential research students and the Graduate School will advise you at each step of the process.
