Course Description
Each student is assigned at least one supervisor who is a member of the University's academic staff. The precise focus of research is agreed between the supervisor and the student, to suit the student's particular interests and needs as much as possible. During the first year, students may be required to undertake some formal research training, which is compulsory in some disciplines. Both the Colleges and the University provide continued training and support to students throughout their studies. Throughout the research period, students will be encouraged to attend specialist seminars and conferences, and will be required to give an account of their progress to staff and fellow students from time to time, at seminars within the School or College. Progress is monitored regularly and Supervisors are asked to complete official 6-monthly reports. Satisfactory reports often lead to transfer from a Masters degree to a PhD. Unsatisfactory progress, however, on rare occasions, may lead to a transfer in the opposite direction from PhD to a research Masters, or a student being required to end their studies. Research Interests include: Neuropsychology Dementia, assessments of standard neuropsychological instruments in clinical use; impairments of immediate and long term memory, perceptual processes, object recognition, movement and reaching planning and other executive functions, verbal fluency, temporal estimation and implicit learning, amongst other areas.
