    Course Summary

    Brunel London University welcomes research students of all kinds, and their PhD program in Psychology is a great way to join this thriving research community. You’ll gain access to Brunel’s extensive laboratory and testing facilities at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience or the Centre for Culture and Evolution.

    To earn your PhD, you’ll have to demonstrate either advanced scholarship or original research in your area of expertise. Essentially you’ll have to move beyond learning and begin to create new, useful knowledge or interpretation through your academic work. Successful completion of the program will allow you to take your place at the forefront of this rapidly evolving science. Your chosen research topic could include nearly any aspect of psychology, from Neuroscience to Evolutionary Psychology.

    This program can be taken as either a 3 year (full time) or 6 year (part time) PhD degree or as a 1 year (full time) or 2 year (part time) MPhil degree.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
