Overview

Nine studentships are available on a wide range of topics including your own choice in the fields of: social sciences, dentistry, medicine, law, economics, health information, public health, geography, statistics, qualitative and quantitative health services research, psychology and sociology.

DECIPHer (Development and Evaluation of Complex Interventions for Public Health Improvement) is a UKCRC Public Health Research Centre of Excellence. The Centre is a strategic partnership between the Universities of Cardiff (www.cardiff.ac.uk), Bristol (www.bristol.ac.uk) and Swansea (www.swan.ac.uk), in collaboration with key organisations concerned with public health policy and practice in Wales and the South West of England.

Staff in the DECIPHer Centre undertake methodologically innovative multidisciplinary research with a focus on the development and evaluation of complex interventions and policies to achieve sustainable improvements in the health and well-being of the public, with particular emphasis on children and young people. In collaboration with other Centres in the UK, DECIPHer leads and facilitates research of international excellence, placing emphasis on involving young people and the public, tackling health inequalities, creating new research capacity and maximising impact on, and engagement with, policy and practice in the UK and beyond.


Funding and Eligibility

The studentships cover the UK/EU fees for either a three year (PhD) or four year (Master’s plus PhD), plus a living stipend and a further £750 Research and Training Support Grant for PhD students p.a. for the duration of the award. The stipend will meet the National Minimum Doctoral Stipend level set by the UK Research Councils (for 2009/10, the full-time stipend level was £13,290 p.a).

The studentships are open to UK and EU candidates. Full awards (fees plus maintenance stipend) are open to UK Nationals, and EU students who can satisfy UK residency requirements.
