For an overview of doctoral-level qualifications, please see our Research Training Overview page.
PhD (Doctor of Philosophy)
All universities support doctoral-level qualifications. Some doctoral-level projects will be advertised by academic teams with a project idea but no specific PhD candidate in mind. The Find a PhD website can be a good starting point. Alternatively, it is possible to approach an academic with a project idea and create a proposal and a funding application together.
Funding is available for doctoral-level programmes that usually cover the course fees and often provide a non-taxable grant called a stipend to cover basic living expenses. Your academic team will know which funding provider is best suited to your research project.
PhD by publication
The requirements for a PhD by publication will vary depending on the awarding institution. Some universities require a proportion of your included publications to be in collaboration with your academic team.
Professional Doctorate
Below are links to health-related Professional Doctorates provided by Universities in Wales. Depending on your research interests, you may also consider a Professional Doctorate that is not specifically health-related. For example, if you are interested in management or education, the most suitable qualification for you may be hosted by a University School of Business, Management or Education.
