You’ll need to meet the minimum entry requirements for our PhD programme.
The University of Surrey welcomes diverse communities and we strive to be inclusive. We particularly encourage applications from nurses and/or people from ethnically diverse backgrounds, and communities who are underrepresented at the University. We offer family-friendly, flexible working arrangements, with forums and inclusive facilities to support staff and students. We can offer hybrid working but aren’t able to offer a fully remote PhD.
How to apply
Applications should be submitted via the Health Sciences PhD programme page.
Please complete the PhD application form, uploading an anonymised CV and cover letter as part of the online application, detailing how you meet the criteria. In your cover letter, please indicate your preferred PhD topic (bullying, whistleblowing or either). Shortlisted applicants will need to provide transcripts from their MSc and two references.
Funding
We offer a full UKRI-rate stipend (£20,780 for 2025-26, pro rata for part-time) and home fees for 3 years or part time equivalent. If part-time, thesis must be submitted by June 2029.
