Professor Matthew McCormack, Head of the University of Northampton’s Graduate School said: “Studying for a doctorate offers you a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in an area you’re passionate about. Although you’re well supported along the way, the very nature of doctoral studies encourages you to develop your own ideas, and lets you forge the path you want to with your research.”

The University of Northampton’s growing reputation for postgraduate research was heralded in the Postgraduate Research Experience; with 91% of students being satisfied with progression – which ranks the University 2nd the UK for their support for students to progress and 90% satisfaction with Research Skills.

Research Student Officer, Anthony Stepniak, said: “Undertaking a research degree is a bit of a voyage of self-discovery – you’ll need tenacity, dedication and lot of critical thinking. At Northampton, we have a welcoming and inclusive research community to support you along the way, and many opportunities for research students to hone skills related to professional career development, alongside their academic work, we’ve also got a dedicated workspace on campus, which was designed by research students, to meet our needs.”
