About PhD Program,

Clinical Psychology registers postgraduate students for both MPhil and PhD degrees, both full-time and part-time. In recent years, up to 24 students have been registered for a higher research degree at any one time.

The Institute of Psychology, Health and Society conducts conducts internationally acclaimed research into many aspects of psychology and human behaviour, including perception, language development, pain, addiction, appetite, and offending behaviour.

We have a long and successful history of research links with NHS services, including a nationally unique psychology service for people in Liverpool who are affected by cancer, which is provided in partnership with the University. Therefore we are extremely well placed to help develop students’ clinical research expertise across a range of settings in mental and physical health care. Our experience is that people undertake research degrees within Clinical Psychology at different stages in their careers and for different reasons.

Our research students include those with first degrees in Psychology, those who already have professional qualifications in Psychology, graduates of disciplines other than Psychology and professionals in other, related disciplines. This reflects the commitment to multidisciplinary approaches, but makes it difficult to make generalisations about the career paths of graduates from research degrees in this area.

PhD Program Degree Eligibility with GPA,   

A good (2:1 or first class or equivalent) degree in a relevant subject is normally required. Potential students should be aware that for certain projects criminal record checks may be necessary. Projects will always be subject to appropriate ethical approval and in some cases collaborating NHS Trusts may require health checks before permitting access to patients. Prospective applicants are advised to contact potential supervisors in their area of interest before submitting a formal application.

PhD Funding Coverage,

The costs of studying for a PhD can be met in several different ways.

This includes:

  • Through funded PhDs, commonly known as PhD studentships, which cover the cost of your research degree and often provide a stipend to cover living expenses
  • Self-funding your PhD, covering the costs yourself or through other sources
  • Applying for PhD scholarships, grants and bursaries, which may cover all or part of your fees and help towards other expenses
  • Working alongside your PhD.
  • Securing funding can be complex and time consuming so it’s important that you start your search early.

Funding bodies support postgraduate research students in different ways; some will pay programme fees and also a stipend (i.e. often a tax free fixed sum of money to cover your living costs and expenses), some will only pay programme fees and others simply make a one-off award of some kind. Each funding body will have its own criteria for eligibility.

Application Requirement,

To complete the online application, you’ll need:

  • School or college transcripts/certificates
  • University transcripts
  • Degree certificates
  • English language certificates (International applicants only)
  • A personal statement
  • Two signed references on letterheaded paper (these should be academic references if you have been in full-time education in the last three years)
  • A research proposal (may be tested for plagiarism, collusion and other irregularities).

Applications are assessed primarily on the basis of prior and predicted academic achievement, so you should complete the application form without any omissions.  If you wish to apply for a degree under a collaborative agreement with another institution, you must state this in your application.
