Studying a Psychology PhD at Aberdeen
Hear why studying a PhD in Psychology is a great thing.
PhD Studentships Commencing October 2022
The School of Psychology has two PhD studentships available. Studentships will commence in October 2022, and will cover tuition fees as well as a stipend at UKRI level (£16,062 per annum). You will also receive a computer and desk space, and access to research training courses offered by the School of Psychology and the University of Aberdeen. These competitive studentships are fully funded for 3 years (or 4 years, if the successful applicant does not yet have a master’s degree).
Candidates must hold (or be expected to obtain) an Upper Second Class honours degree in Psychology as a minimum requirement. A master’s degree and/or additional research experience would be an advantage.
Applications must include:
- A project proposal, maximum length 1 x A4 page including background, aims and suggestions for 2-3 studies to address the aims. A reference list can be added on a second page if you wish. Applicants should liaise with the proposed supervisor when developing their proposal. A list of academic staff can be found on our school pages: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/psychology/people/index.php
- Two academic references – please include full referee contact details.
- A CV outlining your academic qualifications and research experience to date.
- Academic transcripts (academic records from University of Aberdeen are not necessary to include).
