Overview
The MPhil/PhD/PhD by Published Works in Dementia programme offers those interested in dementia (academically or professionally) the chance to pursue advanced studies in their area of specialisation. The training encourages critical and applied thinking in relation to theoretical and practical challenges surrounding all facets of dementia. You will plan, carry out, and finish an independent research project with the help of a group of supervisors that adds something new to our body of knowledge. If you successfully defend your final thesis, you will receive the highest degree that a UK institution can provide and will have a chance to further your career in a variety of sectors. This degree is available both full-time and part-time, and it draws a diverse group of students.
Applications deadline: to allow sufficient time for you to join your preferred intake the deadline for applications for the October intake is the 1 August and for the March intake is the 11 December
Highlights
- This course is exclusive to Northampton University.
- Research degree candidates engage in original research, conducting studies that contribute to knowledge.
- Students have the freedom to explore their research questions, design methodologies, collect and analyse data, and draw meaningful conclusions. This hands-on research experience is a hallmark of a research degree program.
- Research degree programs foster intellectual stimulation through engaging fieldwork, seminars, and discussions with faculty and peers. Students are exposed to a diverse range of theories, research methods, and empirical studies, challenging their thinking and broadening their perspectives.
