Postgraduate researchers complete research modules delivered by academics from across the university. These modules provide key transferable skills and equip postgraduate researchers with the knowledge, understanding and tools to progress into and beyond your research degree and into influential positions within academia, industry and consultancy.
We offer a wide range of training and support designed to meet your specific needs. The emphasis is on enhancing skills critical to developing early-career researchers and professionals. These cover areas relating to effective communication, disseminating research findings or project management skills.
The PhD/MSc Research programmes enable you to undertake a research project that will improve your understanding of health and social care. They provide students the opportunity to work with internationally-renowned scholars engaged in innovative research that will make a difference in people’s lives and in health and social care.
We welcome students from all health and social care and related disciplines who have an interest in exploring related subject areas. A range of services, information and support are available to make your time at university as easy as possible and our outstanding student support teams offer 1-to-1, confidential advice whenever you need it.
Attending a postgraduate open event is a great way to find out more about what postgraduate research at UoG is like.
You’ll study full-time, or part-time if you are engaged in full-time employment at senior levels of practice, education or leadership. As a part-time student you may be engaged in challenging roles, often studying against a backdrop of organisational change and uncertainty.
Once you’ve successfully completed your research modules, you’ll work with your supervisors to develop your understanding of your project theme and research approach. You’ll work towards ethical and project approval before moving into research activity including data collection and analysis.
Publication during your studies supported by your supervisory team is a great way to disseminate your knowledge and development as a researcher.
