The School welcomes enquiries at any time from those who wish to study for a research degree. Interested candidates should in the first instance contact prospective supervisors to discuss their proposed research. We are happy to discuss research proposals that fall within our main research areas, and to give guidance on the scope and focus of a thesis topic. Possible projects with identified supervisors can be viewed here. These are not funded projects but are a guide to the sort of topics that supervisors might be interested in supervising. A list of supervisors in ScHARR can be viewed here. For more general enquiries on the application process, the ScHARR Postgraduate Research Administrator can be contacted: t: +44 (0)114 222 5454 |
