In addition, post-graduate Research opportunities exist at the Lighthouse for PhD or research Masters students.

For graduates with a good degree and relevant experience, research MSc or PhD positions may be obtained in one of two ways:

  • by applying for the funded studentship places that are advertised on the Graduate School website and findaphd.com. These are advertised in the autumn for an October start date.
  • by developing your own research proposals, and approaching relevant staff who may be interested in supervising your work and helping you find financial support for the project.
