Course Summary

This MPhil/PhD programme provides a route for students to carry out their own research project: an investigation that will eventually contribute to the field of knowledge within the educational and social sciences. Students will work closely with their supervisor(s) to develop each stage of research. Supervisors will also help put together a programme of additional courses and activities to support students' progress towards the completion of their thesis. Students on the MPhil/PhD programme carry out research in the areas of developmental psychology (particularly in relation to education), mental health, special educational needs (SEN) and educational neuroscience. Potential candidates are advised to explore UCL IRIS and the Psychology and Human Development department website to identify appropriate supervisors before submitting an application.We offer the largest group of psychologists in the UK dedicated to research in education, child and adolescent development. Neuroscience is at the cutting edge of psychology and we work in partnership with colleagues in UCL Psychology & Language Sciences and Birkbeck to extend our reach in this area.
