Course summary

We offer two types of research degree: an MPhil or a PhD – which consider topics, organisations or concepts relating to social work and social care services.In the School of Social Policy we offer much more than a degree. PhD students have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of events including Departmental Research Seminars, Research Centre Seminars, Postgraduate Research Student Seminars, as well as a vibrant and a engaged PhD researcher community. Our PhD programmes offer you a combination of taught courses in the first year and careful supervision throughout your study, with the aim of helping you to produce a thesis that makes a significant and original contribution to the discipline. A research degree programme may be undertaken either by full-time, part-time study or via distance learning. We welcome applications to work in a wide variety of areas. Joint supervision, both between staff within the Department, and with staff in other departments is possible.
