• to identify theoretical and practice implications for social policy and social care developments in Wales

The research will involve a mixed methods approach, drawing on quantitative and qualitative research approaches.

The project will be located within the College of Human and Health Sciences and its Social Policy and Ageing Programmes, and the supervisory team will be led by Dr. Sarah Hillcoat-Nallétamby, Programme Director for Social Policy

  

WHAT IS PROVIDED:

·         The scholarship will cover UK fees plus a stipend of approximately £13,726 p.a. for a maximum of 3 years subject to satisfactory progress.  Some funding is also available to cover research expenses throughout the study

·         Access to fieldwork opportunities through Care & Repair Cymru agency networks

·         Access to ESRC doctoral training in Wales.

   

WHO IS ELIGIBLE:

• The studentship is only available to UK/EU applicants
• Applicants must have a 1^st or good 2:1 in Social Policy or related Social Science discipline and must hold a relevant Master’s Degree
• Applicants will need to demonstrate some experience of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies and preferably have some experience of working in the third sector.
