The School hosts a wide-range of doctoral and research students - including full-time students and part-timer students, who are often studying alongside their professional role. We have six professors and a range of staff qualified to doctoral level who offer high quality supervision to our community of students.
In the field of health promotion and public health, we supervise PhDs in a wide range of areas. We have four overarching research themes: healthy communities; prisoners and offender health; women’s health; and evidence synthesis methodology. We have staff expertise in the area of dementia studies with internationally recognised dementia research that spans three main theme areas, including: Dementia Care and Services; Physical Activity and Sport; and The Arts, Culture, Media and Society. Social work is a vibrant professional area with many government initiatives and chances of European co-operation. Current social work PhD students are studying adoption, child protection, elder abuse, disability and professional resilience, amongst other topics. Our main research activities and expertise include- child welfare policy and practice, residential child care, child protection, ethnography and global perspectives. We are unique in offering a range of opportunities in other areas including play work, nursing, counselling and psychological therapies.
