About the Programme

The University of Chichester has two full bursaries and one Fee-Waiver bursaries for PhD study for 3 years study in Psychology.

The University of Chichester excelled in the UK-wide Research Excellence Framework (REF) with results announced in December 2014 revealing that 90% of our research is rated as internationally recognised or higher and 15% classified as ‘world-leading'.

Full bursary project:

Cognition and language

We invite applicants to examine the utility of the new SMART (Strengthening Mental Abilities through Relational Training) programme, based on Relational Frame Theory, within the UK school system for enhancing academic performance in a variety of domains; assisting pupils with a variety of special needs, increasing engagement with school life, and increasing positive attitudes towards education. This research will be conducted across the Department of Psychology and Institute of Education.
