About PhD (Faculty of Social Sciences, PhD - at The University of Bradford

All of the Academic Divisions in the Faculty of Social Sciences invite PhD applications.

The research areas are only broadly indicative, and our staff place great store by creative and innovative approaches to issues whether they are novel or familiar – and to intellectual analysis, both established and path-breaking.

Subjects we supervise include the following areas:

Development Studies

Peace Studies

Psychology

Sociology and Criminology

Social Work and Social Care

Undertaking a PhD is an exciting opportunity but can also be quite daunting as there are lots of stages to think about including application, arrival, admission, expectations, and progression to name but a few.

The University website for research students provides information on all of these and much more.

At the Faculty of Social Sciences, we believe it is important that, although our research students are working on individual projects, they are not working in isolation. We offer a range of opportunities for training, developing skills, regular supervision sessions and ongoing peer support.

Entry requirements

IELTS at 6.5 or equivalent with a minimum of 5.5 in each sub-test.
