In Stage 2, there are no taught courses, and the primary aim is to complete the research which has been designed, piloted and evaluated in Stage 1. During Stage 2, attendance at seminars and conferences is supported, and opportunities are given to give conference presentations and publish research. For individual students, our aim is to help them develop into researchers who are knowledgeable in their field of interest, capable of making conceptual advances, well-focused in designing and conducting investigations, and practiced in writing clear reports. They will be able to apply a range of advanced psychological research methods, both quantitative and qualitative. Finally, and most importantly, over the course of their time at Brunel, they will make a substantial original contribution to the advancement of knowledge within their chosen field.
Overseas students are very welcome as research students.
