Overview

Our graduates go on to a number of different destinations either as practitioners or academics or researchers in spheres related to involuntary dislocation, working in international organisations, NGOs, local authorities, etc, as well as pursuing further studies in related areas. Many of our students who are already working in these fields, in various capacities, return to their existing contexts, substantially enriched by their studies with us, assuming higher or more responsible positions, addressing issues from more specialist perspectives.

Your future

Our graduates from Refugee Care at University of Essex go on to a number of different destinations, including further study and training in psychoanalysis, Jungian analysis, or psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Many of our students are already professionals, clinical and non-clinical, so return to their existing fields, either in jobs or further training, and use study with us to deepen their understanding of their work.

Programme Structure

Assessment

The main mode of teaching is by individual supervision. Each supervisory process is unique in its rhythm, style and content and, therefore, you and your supervisor should agree on the nature and timing of each stage of your research.

As a guideline, you might expect to spend the first year pf your PhD (or first two years, if part-time) undertaking your literature review and refining your research question/focus. In your second year (or third and fourth years, if part-time) you work on your methodology, data collection and data analysis. In your third year (or fifth and sixth years, if part-time): you complete your data analysis, final results, and drafting.
