Postgraduate Study

Higher degree by research (HDR) supervision represents one of core activities undertaken by the Centre. The diversity of research interests amongst its academic staff is reflected in the diversity of HDR candidates the Centre attracts. The CSCMS offers both Master of Arts (Honours) and PhD supervision. 

Prospective students are encouraged to consult the Centre's People page and to contact potential supervisors directly in order to discuss their research proposal. For queries relating to academic or supervisory matters, please contact the CSCMS HDR Coordinator, Professor Julia Howell. 

Workshops and Seminars 

The Centre engages actively with leading national and international scholars via its Public Lecture Series and Visiting Academics Programme. It also organises a number of postgraduate workshops, symposiums and conferences throughout the year. In addition to these in-house events, students are able to participate in postgraduate activities and draw on postgraduate support services within the School of Social Sciences and Psychology.
