PhD by research

psychology research

A PhD typically lasts either three or four years, and can take a variety of formats depending upon doctoral programme followed. All programmes allocate three years for individual doctoral-level research projects but each route has tailored taught and training components.
  • Candidates who are self-funding or who are funded through schemes limited to three years of financial support will generally be offered a three year PhD programme
  • Candidates funded through the Midlands Graduate School ESRC DTC will generally follow a one year MSc in Social Science Research Methods followed by three years as a PhD student (1+3). However, candidates who already have this or an equivalent qualification or part of the qualification may be offered a three year or three and a half year programme
  • Candidates who are on the MGS ESRC DTC Digital Society pathway will be on a four year programme
  • Candidates who enter through the BBSRC DTP are offered a four year PhD programme
