Research Degree - MPhil / Phd

We have PhD students in all our faculties: The Sir John Cass Faculty of Art, Architecture and Design; Guildhall Faculty of Business and Law; the Faculty of Life Sciences and Computing; and the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities.

Each PhD project is unique, and yours will be fine-tuned in consultation with the two supervisors dedicated to your research. Recent research areas include:

• Gujarati women in London learning English; Putting the Syrian “Spring” in context
• Occupational stress in Malta; Counter-terrorism in the UK
• The Left in West Germany
• The experiences of counselling trainees
• Childhood malnutrition in Khartoum
• Depression among Black and ethnic minority women
• Smartphones and machine learning
• Managers and self-directed learning
• Leadership development in the hotel industry

This is in addition to many others across all faculties and disciplines.

MPhil and PhD study is self-directed. Students are allocated a supervisory team composed of a director of studies and normally two other supervisors. These are allocated on the basis of the candidate's application, research topic and interview.
