Postgraduate Study
The wide PEALS network means that we are able to offer high quality supervision in a range of areas and including both empirical and conceptual research. We particularly welcome expressions of interest from candidates who are seeking to make a disciplinary cross-over for example from science to social science or health care to philosophy. We are able to facilitate training programmes in the relevant research skills through our links with other university departments.
More information about research and taught programmes, support, student life and how to apply to Newcastle University can be found on the postgraduate study pages.
