We support an active and vibrant postgraduate research community. We are known for high-quality internationally recognised research, in a range of pure, practice-led and applied approaches. We welcome applications for both advertised projects (details below to be added later) and researcher-led topics that are within psychology, or are interdisciplinary approaches that are grounded in psychology. We strongly recommend that you contact potential supervisors to discuss your application before submission.
