The University of Brighton has a long history in developing professional expertise in nursing and midwifery and, through research, expanding the knowledge and scope of our profession.We invite keen nursing PhD applicants to join a superbly networked set of healthcare professionals inside and outside the university. We accept proposals for research that draws on a range of research methodologies and can be framed by contexts of midwifery, adult nursing, child and adolescent nursing or mental health nursing.Our research students are a vital part of the outstanding research environment in health professions at the University of brighton. Each PhD student in nursing and midwifery plays an important role in exploring, developing and improving clinical practice. There are opportunities to engage with a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives.We offer PhD study in both full and part-time modes and welcome students with significant professional experience, who are able to use and share the career skills they have developed, as well as those who have recently completed first degrees and wish to take advantage of their academic momentum.Doctoral graduates leave us with a nursing PhD or midwifery PhD from the University of Brighton and proceed to employment in various organisations including NIHR, NHS, university lecturer posts and consultancy, as well as further research.
The entry requirements for the PhD are:
a recognised Masters degree with a significant research component, for example MPhil from another university, or similar qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant
or substantial appropriate research or professional experience at postgraduate level which resulted in published work, written reports or other appropriate evidence of accomplishment. An application made by someone with this experience will be considered on its merits and will normally require independent academic references
or, unless a school exercises their right to specify more stringent entry requirements, we may consider a first or upper second honours degree or other qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant.
