心理学博士/硕士

城市心理学系在研究的基础上拥有悠久的卓越历史，该研究建立在该学科的传统基础上，同时又采用了新的方法。超过30名教职员工在专用设施中进行前沿研究，这些设施包括两个最先进的脑电图实验室，一个经颅磁刺激实验室，一个婴儿实验室以及大约十二个行为实验室，这些实验室可使用眼动仪，心理生理学记录西装和全面的心理测验库。MPhil / PhD计划是研究培训博士学位，主要针对希望从事学术研究职业的学生。除了参加有关高级研究方法的正规课程外，博士生还在一个或多个学术人员的指导下进行了扩展的原创性，实证研究。成功完成研究方法课
The PhD programme in Psychology is designed to develop your skills as an independent scholar and give you transferable skills for the years after you finish.<br>What follows is general indication of a student trajectory. It must be borne in mind that because this is a research degree, each student’s programme will be specific to them and the topic they are researching.<br>You will join an established department with a history of pioneering research. We have a commitment to the traditions of the discipline and a clear vision of good research practice in Psychology.<br>We support a vibrant community of researchers and provide expert supervision on a range of specialist subjects. Current strengths include cognitive neuroscience, decision making and behavioural economics. Formal modules in advanced research methods are available if needed to provide you with understanding needed to advance your research.<br>Our purpose-built facilities include:<br>Two state-of-the-art electroencephalography laboratories<br>A transcranial magnetic stimulation laboratories<br>A baby laboratory<br>Behavioural laboratories with access to eye-trackers<br>Psychophysiological recording suites<br>A psychometrics test library.<br>You and your research will become an integral part of our dynamic research culture.<br>Year 1<br>Depending on their existing qualifications and in discussion with their supervisor, in year one students may take one or more MSc level modules to furnish their core research methodological skills (see our Research Methods MSc) and subject-specific knowledge (see our MScs in Organisational Psychology, Behavioural Economics, Health Psychology and Clinical, Social and Cognitive Neuroscience).The majority of time in Year 1 is spent formulating a research question and writing a literature review. Some students may also have begun data collection.Year 2<br>In year two students will finalise their literature review, finalise the overall shape of their thesis and carry out the bulk of their empirical and analytic work. Some may need to take one of several advanced level training courses that are available to build expertise in subject-specific research methodologies.Year 3<br>In year three students will conclude their empirical work and focus on writing up their thesis. They will also seek to disseminate their work in the form of peer-reviewed publications andor conference presentations and identify opportunities for the next stage of their career.Year 4<br>We expect the majority of students to complete their write-up within a three-year period. However, a fourth year may be used for the final preparation and submission of the thesis and the completion of any amendments that may be requested.MPhil award<br>It is important to note that all students on graduate research programmes are initially registered for an MPhil award. Promotion to registration to PhD is not automatic, but contingent on the satisfactory outcome of a formal review process some time in the second year of study.The Award<br>For the award of a psychology PHD candidates are required to demonstrate the following:<br>a full understanding of previous research literature and current academic and professional thinking<br>the ability to undertake sustained, high level research and master the theoretical (and where appropriate, practical) aspects of the subject areas relevant to the research field<br>the ability to communicate the subject matter of the research field, and the conclusions of the particular research project, in the accepted academic form of a research thesis.<br>Duration:<br>Full-time: 2 – 4 years<br>Part-time: 4 – 7 years<br>PhD by prior publication: 1 year
