社会科学学院的所有学术部门都邀请博士学位申请。研究领域仅具有广泛的指导意义，我们的工作人员通过创造性和创新性的方法来处理无论是新颖还是熟悉的问题，以及已建立和开拓性的智力分析，都占有重要的地位。我们指导的学科包括以下领域：发展研究，和平研究，心理学，社会学和犯罪学，社会工作和社会关怀。攻读博士学位是一个令人兴奋的机会，但也可能会令人生畏，因为有许多阶段需要考虑，包括申请，到达，录取，期望和升迁等。
All of the Academic Divisions in the School of Social Sciences invite PhD applications. The research areas are only broadly indicative, and our staff place great store by creative and innovative approaches to issues whether they are novel or familiar – and to intellectual analysis, both established and path-breaking. Subjects we supervise include the following areas: Development Studies Peace Studies Psychology Sociology and Criminology Social Work and Social Care Undertaking a PhD is an exciting opportunity but can also be quite daunting as there are lots of stages to think about including application, arrival, admission, expectations, and progression to name but a few. At the School of Social Sciences, we believe it is important that, although our research students are working on individual projects, they are not working in isolation. We offer a range of opportunities for training, developing skills, regular supervision sessions and ongoing peer support.
