Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Glasgow are thriving. Our vibrant research environment includes an active community of postgraduate students and engaged staff who are internationally recognised for their contributions to a wide range of philosophical and psychological debates. This programme is designed for dissertation topics at the intersection of Philosophy and Psychology that would benefit from supervisors from both disciplines. Students in this programme specifically have a primary supervisor in Philosophy and a secondary supervisor in Psychology. A Doctor of Philosophy may be awarded to a student whose thesis is an original work making a significant contribution to knowledge in, or understanding of, a field of study and normally containing material worthy of publication. Our College of Arts Graduate School creates a productive and interdisciplinary collegiate environment for all of our research students. We offer a range of services, courses and skills development opportunities for research students. The College of Arts is home to a vibrant and diverse community of students enrolled on taught masters and research programmes within a stimulating intellectual and cultural environment. Across every school and subject area the college is home to world-leading and agenda-setting research.
