Prospective postgraduates
PhD by Research
Students with a good background in Psychoanalytic or
Jungian theory or practice, good academic credentials and an ability to pursue
independent research may apply to work towards a PhD. The Centre has an active
group of PhD students and Post-Doctoral Fellows who, in addition to the staff of
the Centre and of supporting departments, provide a stimulating and congenial
environment. Centre staff include Professors of Psychoanalysis and of Jungian
Psychology, and staff of supporting departments represent many interests in the
connections between psychoanalysis and other fields.
PhD by research for non UK residents (distance learning)
Students who reside outside the UK and who qualify to
pursue a PhD by research may apply for the distance learning option. There are
special requirements governing the application, registration period and
supervisory arrangements. Please enquire for further details.
Apply for Doctoral Study (PhD, Doctoral Programme, MPhil)
Students wishing to apply for Doctoral study should
read the following information which explains the application and selection
procedure:
Once a research proposal has been accepted by the
Centre you can complete an application form, either by
contacting the Student Administrator
(Research) for an application pack to be sent to you by post, by completing a form
online (please note that online applications will still require additional information
to be mailed to the Centre), or by downloading the
application form in PDF format.
Please note: students for Doctoral Research are initially
registered for an MPhil, but are upgraded to PhD status, normally in the second
year, as long as their work is of a sufficient standard to continue at Doctoral
level.
