Research degrees
Research is very important to us, and our research students attain the highest standards in scholarship.
Each student will be part of one of our four research centres for the duration of their studies, giving them access to a network of academics and relevant events and seminars.
Important information for October 2025 entry: If you'd like to be considered for ESRC White Rose scholarships, the deadline for applying to our department is Friday 13 December. For information about applying, please visit our Applying for a PhD page.
Many staff members have written short overviews of potential research projects to give an idea of potential supervision projects currently available.
