Overview

Students at the Psychology and Human Development programme at University College London (UCL) will work closely with their supervisor(s) to develop each stage of research. Supervisors will also help put together a programme of additional courses and activities to support students' progress towards the completion of their thesis.

Students will work closely with one or more specialist supervisors and in some cases be part of a group (Lab or Centre) which will support them to develop each stage of their research; have access to specialist research seminars across all IOE and UCL departments; and join a vibrant and active community of doctoral students.

The foundation of your career

Students will develop general and specialist skills in research methodology, academic writing and presentation, as well as gaining experience of engaging with a wide range of practitioners across different sectors of education.

Employability

Psychology doctoral graduates progress to a range of career paths in: academia (both as university teachers and researchers); local and national government contexts supporting work related to education and psychology in the fields of policy and planning; school leadership; public sector research.
