UWL is committed to advancing knowledge and innovation in research and education to improve the lives of older people in the UK and around the world living with dementia.The team within The Geller Institute of Ageing and Memory (GIAM) has expertise in conducting multi-method research in dementia and ageing-related studies and can provide relevant mentoring and supervision to doctoral students.Our PhD in Ageing Research provides an opportunity for individuals with an academic or professional interest in ageing and older adults to undertake advanced study within their chosen area.The course promotes applied and critical thinking around theoretical and practice-based issues related to diverse aspects of ageing research and the well-being of older adults.We invite applications for doctoral research in various topic areas, including healthy ageing and its determinants, ageing and social relationships, surveillance, technology, and ageing, minorities and ageing, and ageing social care research (care homes and home care).
The minimum entry requirements for a research degree are:
a good first degree (First Class or Upper Second Class), or equivalent qualification in a relevant field
a Masters Degree (MA, MSc, MBA or MRes) with Merit, or equivalent postgraduate or research experience.
In addition to the minimum entry requirements for a UWL research degree, we are looking to recruit high-quality PhD candidates who have relevant research or practice-based experience related to older adults. Ideal candidates are self-motivated and well-organised, have good presentation skills, can communicate sensitively and effectively in both spoken and written English, and, with supervision, have the potential to develop as independent researchers, and can complete their doctoral research within four to six years.
