Psychology PhD

From crowd behaviour to perception and studies of the brain – you’ll work with experts who will guide and support you through your research project.

Sussex is one of the largest and most diverse centres for the study of psychology in the UK. You’ll work in an intellectually stimulating and supportive environment, within a community of postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and field-leading faculty.

For a PhD, your research work makes a substantial original contribution to knowledge or understanding in your chosen field.

You’re normally expected to have a Merit (an average of 60% overall) in a Masters degree OR an upper second-class (2.1) undergraduate honours degree. Your qualification should be in a relevant subject area. You may also be considered for the degree if you have other professional qualifications or experience of equivalent standing.
