Criminology programmes are hosted within our Department of Sociology and Criminology. We offer supervision that covers a wide range of topics and we take a global approach to the subject, with particular expertise in diverse regional settings.

We offer a three-year supervised research route for students with a solid knowledge of existing research in the field and a good understanding of research methods. We offer PhD supervision in descriptive and theoretical phonology, syntax, semantics, and morphology, with a particular emphasis on cross-linguistic variation and interfaces between different areas of grammar.

Discover how insights from linguistics help to explain how humans learn, understand and use languages. Our MA Psycholinguistics provides you with a thorough grounding in research from the perspective of linguistics on human language processing, the representation of language in the brain, and first and second language acquisition.

For our PhD Economics within ISER, we offer supervision in applied microeconomics and microeconometrics, which should interest you if you plan to use socio-economic survey data in your research.

This PhD programme gives you the opportunity to develop new insight into accounting and accountability processes with a view to influencing policy and practice. It is open to those who have previous experience in academic research in accounting.

Supervision for PhD Psychology within our Department of Psychology is available in diverse fields of psychology including (but not limited to) cognitive psychology, social and cognitive neuroscience, social psychology, and developmental psychology. You study in a stimulating and vibrant research environment, and we provide excellent research facilities.

Our four-year PhD in Law (with research and communication skills) course has been specifically designed to support students, whilst also offering additional support for UK students who do not have English as a first language. We recognise and understand the importance of continuing professional development for students and have designed this course for students who do not have English as a first language and may have been studying in a different country, or out of a traditional academic environment for some time.

Postgraduate Diplomas last for six to nine months (full-time) and include the modules and assessed work of a Masters, without a dissertation. Mathematics is the language that underpins the rest of science.

This PhD will give you the opportunity to engage with debates surrounding entrepreneurship, such as knowledge production, organisational development and innovation in the new economy.

We offer supervision for our PhD Sociolinguistics in the areas of: conversation analysis, language variation and change, dialects and language contact, gender differentiation in language, multilingualism, intercultural pragmatics, language maintenance and shift, Pidgin and Creole linguistics, and language and human rights. Examples of PhD projects which our students have undertaken include studies of the consequences of language contact between Arabic and Cypriot Greek, dialect contact and acquisition of American children in British schools, responses to different types of announcements, and linguistic resources to express agreement.
