Your work will make a major impact on the social science underpinnings of avoidable health problems and will build research capacity at the interface of biomedical and social sciences, both within and beyond academia.
Career opportunities
The PhD in Health and Wellbeing offers useful preparation for a number of careers. Our students often go on to employment in areas of government policy and health promotion at local, national and international levels. Others have continued to academic careers, taking up post-doctoral positions and lecturing in UK and international universities.
The programme establishes both a sound research training base and an understanding of practical applications, which prepare our students for different types of employment, including research, policy and intervention.
Programme Structure
Courses include
- All students have two supervisors from different disciplinary perspectives on health and wellbeing.
- Your supervisors will convene joint meetings on a regular basis and will attend the annual one-day workshop for all pathway students.
