Program Overview
Deepen your knowledge and research skills for an academic or professional career that focuses on social and public policy.
This course is delivered by the Department of Social & Policy Sciences. Our department is internationally recognised with a strong focus on policy and practice, and a commitment to contribute to social wellbeing and social justice.
We offer supervisory expertise in four disciplines:
Our PhDs are not formally assigned a discipline and successful candidates can describe their PhD to reflect its main research area (e.g. PhD in Social Policy; PhD in International Development).
The programme will enable you to contribute a significant piece of research to the academic community through a written thesis (typically up to 90,000 words).
