Choosing a research topic

Applicants for research degrees (MPhil/PhD) in the School of Health Sciences & Social Care can either propose their own topic for research or apply to do an MPhil/PhD via a pre-defined project.

If you wish to choose your own topic, see guidance on what to include in a study proposal. For obvious reasons, the process for considering applications from those wishing to pursue their own topic of research takes longer due to the need to find an appropriate supervisory team.
