FAQ 547
How do I apply for a PhD at ScHARR?

 Thank you for your interest

in PhD study at ScHARR (School of Health and Related Research). 

 

The entry criteria and

application process for PhD applications to ScHARR can be found here:

https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/postgraduate/phd/apply

 

An important

element of the application is the research proposal. I have attached a document

which outlines what we expect from a research proposal at this early stage.

 

It is also a good idea to determine if the area of research

that you are interested in matches any of the areas of research of our

supervisory staff. PhD applications tend to be facilitated if applicants have

already discussed their research proposal with a potential supervisor prior to

submitting the application. The best way to do so is to look into the various

areas of research conducted at ScHARR. Information about this can be found on

our webpages 

sheffield.ac.uk/scharr/research

 

The following

search tool will help you:

https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/researchsupervisors/view?type=search&department=MDE&keywords=

It allows you to

search for supervisors, either by department or by using key words. You can

then contact potential supervisors to discuss your research. When you submit

your application, you can then list them as your proposed supervisor/s once you

have their agreement to do so.
