PhD Psychology

University of Buckingham

The School of Psychology fosters a culture of collaborative, multidisciplinary research and you will join a vibrant community that includes regular work-in-progress seminars to foster an active research environment. You will join this environment and have the opportunity to engage with the postgraduate research group and attend seminars with external speakers. We hold an annual postgraduate conference, giving you the chance to showcase your research and further connect with other students and staff. There are also opportunities to connect with the wider research community by presenting at national conferences. We are happy to consider research proposals on a wide range of topics relevant to our staff interests. Study can be on either a full-time or a part-time basis. The minimum period of study for achieving your PhD is three years full-time and six years part-time. For study at PhD level a MSc in psychology or a closely related subject is desirable but not essential. If you do not have a MSc then you would need a very good undergraduate degree and be able to demonstrate a solid understanding of psychology research methods and statistics.
