The School of Psychology & Counselling has a vibrant research culture, noted for its transdisciplinary ethos, its real-world relevance and its commitment to social justice. We welcome PhD candidates who aspire to contribute to this ethos through their research.

Research within the School is conducted under the auspices of the Open Psychology Research Centre, and it is organised around three strands: Culture and Social Psychology (CuSP); Psychology of Health and Wellbeing (PHeW); and the Forensic Cognition Research Group (FCRG).

The School of Psychology & Counselling is part of the ESRC Grand Union Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) with the University of Oxford and Brunel University, and it offers a limited number of doctoral studentships under the Psychology Pathway.
