Course summary
The PhD in Wellbeing gives you the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge in an area of interest and to hone advanced research skills. You’ll work with faculty who are global in their outlook and experts in their fields. Our doctoral researchers come from all over the world. For many, the PhD is an important step in advancing a professional career. We host one research centre, the Centre for Innovation and Research in Wellbeing (CIRW) (hosted by the Department of Social Work and Social Care and School of Education and Social Work). Doctoral researchers become members of this and more centres, depending on their area of interest, with supervisors generally coming from CIRW. We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
