All of the Academic Divisions in the Faculty of Health, Education and Society invite Research applications from graduates in Sociology, Psychology, or similar disciplines. This MPhil PhD  PhD by Published Works programme offers an excellent route to expand your knowledge and research skills. Undertaking a Research degree 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 University of Northampton, 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 and developing skills. You will be supported by a team of supervisors and ongoing peer support. Successful defence of the final thesis will provide you with the highest level of degree that any UK university can award; a PhD qualification is respected around the world and can offer an excellent opportunity for career progression in a range of fields. Application deadlines: October intake is 1 August and March intake is 11 December
