Postgraduate research

The Institute has a long established record of successful doctoral work and the research training programme has ESRC recognition for 3+1 and 3 year modes and for both full-time and part-time study. This programme is now part of the FESS Research Methods Programme, for details see the Graduate School for Social Sciences Research Student Handbook. The Institute currently has about 40 PhD students from the UK and abroad studying on both a full-time and part-time basis. Good facilities on the Bulmershe campus include a research base for research students and a research student common room. Research students can also use the facilities of the Graduate School for the Social Sciences on the Whiteknights campus. The Institute runs regular research seminars for student and staff development. In addition, we also offer suitable research students a unique opportunity to gain further research experience through involvement in the research work of our staff, carrying out small amounts of paid work. Dr Mary Stakelum is Director of Postgraduate Research Studies. Areas of research expertise for members of staff are listed with details of our research.
