The full-time MPhil comprises one year of research with an individual supervisor, followed by the examination of a research thesis in an oral examination. Candidates most commonly take the MPhil as a standalone research degree with only one year of funding. If this course is taken as part of a route to the PhD, a further three years of study and funding are required, as well as satisfactory performance in the MPhil. The PhD project may draw on the topic of the MPhil, but the same work cannot be presented for both degrees. Individual staff members will be pleased to answer informal enquiries about specific research areas. If you are certain of your field of interest, you are encouraged to contact a potential supervisor at an early stage to see whether your research interests can be accommodated. We have a systematic training programme for research students, giving instruction in research methods, data analysis, and presentational skills.
Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK Good II.i Honours Degree. Candidates who wish to become a postgraduate student in the department should have a degree in psychology, neuroscience or another related subject (for example, physiology, sociology, linguistics, computer science, or engineering), which, with the postgraduate education provision provided, will ensure a sufficient background for research in specialised areas of psychology (e.g., social, cognitive, or developmental psychology, or cognitive or behavioural neuroscience).
