Sociology PhD

University of Brighton

Doctoral level Sociology in Brighton brings you to an established research environment rich in achievement and ambition with impactful social change at the heart of the knowledge exchange agenda. We welcome proposals across a wide range of sociological research and inter-related social sciences. This includes research into social policy and social work. The wider academic environment means we are also well-placed to develop cross-disciplinary projects that incorporate sociology's perspectives, methodologies and practical application. The University Brighton has an outstanding reputation in applied and high-impact research, with issues affecting social justice and equality deeply embedded in our approach. Our Sociology research experts are engaged with diverse sociological issues such as mobilities, gender, sport and leisure, classed identities, migration, race and ethnicity, housing, identity and belonging, non-human and the anthropocene. Recent and current PhD students have been successful in obtaining studentships covering both fees and living costs through the University of Brighton’s involvement in the ESRC South Coast Doctoral Training Programme.
