    The first step in the application process is to identify potential main supervisor(s). You can identify potential research areas of interest by browsing the Plymouth Institute of Health and Care Research, the research strands in the School of Psychology and individual staff pages. Once you have identified a potential supervisor, your application can be sent to them for consideration.

    Applications will need to include a research proposal (750 word maximum), a 1 page CV, and a grade transcript for your relevant graduate and undergraduate degrees. For informal discussion about potential PhD topics, please contact potential supervisors directly
