The department is very strong in research (with a grade 5 (out of 5) in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise), and does internationally leading work in a number of fields. There is an active community of postgraduate students studying for the degree of PhD in all the main research areas of the department. We welcome applications from students both within and outside the United Kingdom.

If you feel you may be interested in joining us, you can send email to the Postgraduate Admissions Selector. Alternatively, if you have a clear idea of what you would like to study, you can find a staff member in that area and contact them directly for further information. The admissions process is quite informal.
