Trosolwg o'r Cwrs

Dyddiadau Cychwyn: 1 af Hydref, 1af Ionawr, 1af Ebrill, 1 Gorffennaf.

Mae deall cymhlethdodau'r meddwl dynol a sut rydym yn uniaethu â'r byd o'n cwmpas yn parhau i fod yn un o heriau mwyaf gwyddoniaeth.

Mae gan ein Hysgol Seicoleg enw rhagorol drwy fynd â'r wyddoniaeth y tu ôl i'w hymchwil Seicoleg a mabwysiadu dull trosi i gael effaith yn y byd go iawn er budd cleifion a'r gymdeithas.  Wrth astudio am eich PhD mewn Seicoleg gyda ni byddwch yn dod yn rhan o'n hamgylchedd ymchwil 3*-4* (REF2021). Mae hyn yn golygu y byddwch yn ymuno ag amgylchedd ymchwil o ansawdd digonol sy'n adlewyrchu proffil sy'n ffafriol i gynhyrchu ymchwil o ansawdd sy'n arwain y byd ac o ansawdd rhagorol yn rhyngwladol.

Mae ein meysydd arbenigedd ymchwil mewn Niwrowyddoniaeth Wybyddol a Seicoleg Glinigol ac Iechyd yn cefnogi pedwar grŵp ymchwil eang:

Ymddygiad Clinigol ac Iechyd, gan fynd i'r afael â sut mae ymddygiadau yn datblygu ac yn dylanwadu ar benderfyniadau pobl sy'n ymwneud â'u hiechyd a'u lles, ac effaith ymyriadau iechyd. Mae prosiectau ymchwil myfyrwyr diweddar wedi archwilio rôl marchnata cymdeithasol wrth atal gordewdra plant, a thrawma yn dilyn salwch acíwt.

Gwybyddiaeth a Chanfyddiad, sy'n ymdrin â meysydd fel canfyddiad, adnabod a phrosesu gwrthrychau a digwyddiadau, a'r sail wybyddol a niwral ar gyfer datblygu iaith. Mae pynciau ymchwil cyfredol yn cynnwys cynrychioli lliw a siâp yn y cof, a chydnabod a chynhyrchu geiriau.

Ymennydd ac Ymddygiad, gan archwilio integreiddiad niwrowyddoniaeth ac ymddygiad, gan gynnwys cemeg yr ymennydd, niwroseicoleg, ac anaf i'r ymennydd. Mae ymchwil myfyrwyr sydd ar y gweill ar hyn o bryd yn cynnwys ffactorau cam-drin sylweddau sy'n effeithio ar sylw, a dysgu, cof a darllen mewn unigolion ag anhwylderau sbectrwm awtistig.

Mae Seicoleg Fforensig, gan archwilio'r rhyngwyneb rhwng seicoleg a'r gyfraith, yn cynnwys llawer o agweddau, megis proses gyfreithiol, asesu, goruchwylio a thrin y rhai sydd wedi troseddu, gweithio gyda dioddefwyr troseddau, a mynd i'r afael â risg ac aildroseddu.

Gan gynnig hyblygrwydd trwy ddull astudio cwbl ymchwil; mae'r cwrs MSc trwy Ymchwil mewn Seicoleg yn berffaith i'r rhai sy'n edrych i gydbwyso ymrwymiadau gwaith, bywyd ac astudio.

Fel myfyriwr yn ein Ysgol Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol, byddwch yn elwa o amgylchedd ymchwil deinamig a chefnogol gyda llawer o gyfleoedd i wneud cysylltiadau ar draws disgyblaethau a datblygu cysylltiadau â sefydliadau a llunwyr polisi yn y DU a thramor.

Mae ein cyfleusterau ymchwil o'r radd flaenaf yn cynnwys ystafell electroenceffalograffi dwysedd uchel (EEG), labordy cysgu wedi'i ffitio'n llawn, ystafell arsylwi cymdeithasol, olrhain llygaid, seicoffisiolegol, ysgogiad cerrynt uniongyrchol traws -ranial (tDCS), a labordai cyflyru, labordy hyd oes ac ystafell fabanod, ynghyd â mwy nag 20 o ystafelloedd ymchwil pwrpasol.

Gofynion Mynediad

I wneud cais am y rhaglen PhD byddai angen i chi fod â, neu fod yn astudio ar gyfer gradd Meistr, tra bod ein rhaglen MPhil yn gofyn am radd gyntaf neu ail radd uwch mewn disgyblaeth sy'n gysylltiedig â'r prosiect ymchwil arfaethedig, neu gymhwyster ôl-raddedig perthnasol, cymeradwy. Mewn rhai achosion, efallai y bydd cyfleoedd i fyfyrwyr MPhil barhau â'u hastudiaethau fel myfyriwr PhD.

PhD: Fel rheol rhaid i ymgeiswyr am PhD feddu ar radd israddedig ar lefel 2.1 a gradd meistr. Fel arall, bydd ymgeiswyr sydd â gradd anrhydedd dosbarth cyntaf yn y DU (neu gyfwerth nad yw'n rhan o'r DU fel y'i diffinnir gan Brifysgol Abertawe) nad oes ganddynt radd meistr, yn cael eu hystyried yn unigol.

Rydym yn croesawu ceisiadau gan ddarpar fyfyrwyr o bob cwr o'r byd ac yn edrych am dystiolaeth o astudiaeth flaenorol sy'n cyfateb i'r gofynion mynediad a nodwyd uchod. Mae'r Swyddfa Derbyn Ôl-raddedig yn hapus i'ch cynghori ynghylch a yw'ch cymwysterau'n addas ar gyfer mynediad i'r cwrs yr hoffech eu hastudio. E-bostiwch admissions@swansea.ac.uk i gael mwy o wybodaeth.

Os nad Saesneg yw eich iaith gyntaf bydd angen pas derbyniol mewn cymhwyster Iaith Saesneg cymeradwy i sicrhau eich bod yn cael y budd llawn o astudio yn Abertawe. Rydym yn ystyried ystod eang o gymwysterau, gan gynnwys Prawf Saesneg Prifysgol Abertawe, prawf IELTS y Cyngor Prydeinig (gyda sgôr o 6.5 o leiaf ym mhob cydran). Mae rhestr lawn o brofion Saesneg derbyniol i'w gweld yma.

Byddai disgwyl i chi fodloni'r gofynion mynediad lleiaf a nodir uchod. Mae'r Coleg / Ysgol yn cadw'r hawl i ofyn am raddau a chymwysterau academaidd uwch. Mae penderfyniadau derbyn yn ystyried nid yn unig gymwysterau academaidd blaenorol, ond hefyd ffactorau gan gynnwys safon y crynodeb / cynnig ymchwil a gyflwynwyd, eich perfformiad yn y cyfweliad (os oes angen), dwyster y gystadleuaeth am leoedd cyfyngedig a phrofiad proffesiynol perthnasol (lle bo hynny'n briodol).

Yn ogystal â chymwysterau academaidd, gall penderfyniadau derbyn fod yn seiliedig ar ffactorau eraill, gan gynnwys (ond heb fod yn gyfyngedig i): safon y crynodeb / cynnig ymchwil, perfformiad mewn cyfweliad, dwyster y gystadleuaeth am leoedd cyfyngedig, a phrofiad proffesiynol perthnasol.

Yn ogystal â chymwysterau academaidd, gellir seilio penderfyniadau ynghylch derbyn myfyrwyr ar ffactorau eraill, gan gynnwys ond heb fod yn gyfyngedig i: safon y crynodeb/cynnig ymchwil, perfformiad yn ystod y cyfweliad, lefel y gystadleuaeth am leoedd cyfyngedig a phrofiad proffesiynol perthnasol.

Gofyniad am eirda

Yn arferol, gofynnir am ddau eirda cyn y gallwn anfon ceisiadau i Diwtor Derbyn rhaglenni ymchwil y Coleg/Ysgol i'w hystyried.

Caiff ceisiadau a dderbynnir heb ddau eirda wedi'u hatodi atynt eu gohirio nes y derbynnir y geirda sy'n weddill. Sylwer y gall oedi hir wrth dderbyn y geirda sy'n weddill arwain at ohirio'ch cais tan ddyddiad cychwyn/mis derbyn posib diweddarach, o'i gymharu â'r dyddiad y rhestroch yn gychwynnol fel y dyddiad dechrau o'ch dewis.

Efallai yr hoffech ystyried cysylltu â'ch canolwr (canolwyr) i'n cynorthwyo wrth dderbyn y geirda sy'n weddill neu, fel arall, gallwch ohirio cyflwyno'ch cais nes eich bod wedi dod o hyd i'ch geirda. Sylwer nad cyfrifoldeb Swyddfa Derbyn y Brifysgol yw dod o hyd i'r geirda sy'n weddill ar ôl i ni anfon e-bost cychwynnol at y canolwyr (canolwyr) a enwebwyd gennych, gan ofyn am eirda ar eich rhan chi.

Gall y geirda hwn fod ar ffurf llythyr ar bapur pennawd swyddogol neu gellir ei gyflwyno ar ffurflen geirda safonol y Brifysgol. Cliciwch ar y ddolen hon i lawrlwytho ffurflen geirda'r Brifysgol.

Fel arall, gall canolwyr anfon geirda mewn e-bost o'u cyfrif e-bost gwaith. Sylwer na ellir derbyn geirda a anfonir oddi wrth gyfrifon e-bost preifat, (h.y. Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail).

Gellir cyflwyno geirda i pgradmissions@abertawe.ac.uk.

You will acquire research skills for high-level work and skills and training programmes are available on campus for further support. There will be an opportunity to deliver presentations to research students and staff at departmental seminars and conferences. There may also be opportunities to develop your teaching skills through undergraduate tutorials, demonstrations and seminars.

Programme Aims

This PhD programme will provide doctoral researchers with:

  1. The opportunity to conduct high quality postgraduate research in a world leading research environment.
  2. Key skills needed to undertake advanced academic and non-academic research including qualitative and quantitative data analysis.
  3. Advanced critical thinking, intellectual curiosity and independent judgement.

Programme Structure

The programme comprises three key elements:

  • Entry and confirmation of candidature
  • Main body of research
  • Thesis and viva voce

The programme comprises of the undertaking of an original research project of 3 years duration full time (6 years duration part time). Doctoral researchers may pursue the programme either full time or part time by pursuing research at the University at an external place of employment or with/at a University approved partner.

Assessment

Doctoral researchers for the PhD in Psychology are examined in two parts.

The first part is a thesis which is an original body of work representing the methods and results of the research project. The maximum word limit is 100,000 for the main text. The word limit does not include appendices (if any), essential footnotes, introductory parts and statements or the bibliography and index.

The second part is an oral examination (viva voce).

Doctoral Researcher Supervision and Support

Doctoral researchers will be supervised by a supervisory team. Where appropriate, staff from Colleges/Schools other than the ‘home’ College/School (other Colleges/Schools) within the University will contribute to cognate research areas. There may also be supervisors from an industrial partner.

The Primary/First Supervisor will normally be the main contact throughout the doctoral research journey and will have overall responsibility for academic supervision. The academic input of the Secondary Supervisor will vary from case to case. The principal role of the Secondary Supervisor is often as a first port of call if the Primary/First Supervisor becomes unavailable. The supervisory team may also include a supervisor from industry or a specific area of professional practice to support the research. External supervisors may also be drawn from other Universities.

The primary supervisor will provide pastoral support. If necessary the primary supervisor will refer the  doctoral researcher to other sources of support (e.g. Wellbeing, Disability, Money Advice, IT, Library, Students’ Union, Academic Services, Student Support Services, Careers Centre).

During the course of the programme, the Doctoral researcher is expected to meet regularly with their supervisors, and at most meetings it is likely that the doctoral researcher’s progress will be monitored in an informal manner in addition to attendance checks. Details of the meetings should ideally be recorded on the on-line system. A minimum of four formal supervision meetings is required each year, two of which will be reported to the Postgraduate Progression and Awards Board. During these supervisory meetings the doctoral researcher’s progress is discussed and formally recorded on the on-line system.  

Learning Development 

The University offers training and development for Doctoral Researchers and supervisors (https://www.swansea.ac.uk/research/undertake-research-with-us/postgraduate-research/training-and-skills-development-programme/).

Swansea University’s Postgraduate Research Training Framework is structured into sections, to enable doctoral researchers to navigate and determine appropriate courses aligned to both their interest and their candidature stage. 

There is a training framework including for example areas of Managing Information and Data, Presentation and Public Engagement, Leadership and working with others, Safety Integrity and Ethics, Impact and Commercialisation and Teaching and Demonstrating. There is also range of support in areas such as training needs, literature searching, conducting research, writing up research, teaching, applying for grants and awards, communicating research and future careers.

A range of research seminars and skills development sessions are provided within the School of Health and Social Care and across the University. These are scheduled to keep the  doctoral researcher in touch with a broader range of material than their own research topic, to stimulate ideas in discussion with others, and to give them opportunities to such as defending their own thesis orally, and to identify potential criticisms. Additionally, the School of Health and Social Care is developing a research culture that aligns with the University vision and will link with key initiatives delivered under the auspices of the University’s Academies, for example embedding the HEA fellowship for postgraduate research students.

Research Environment

Swansea University’s research environment combines innovation and excellent facilities to provide a home for multidisciplinary research to flourish. Our research environment encompasses all aspects of the research lifecycle, with internal grants and support for external funding and enabling impact/effect that research has beyond academia. 

Swansea University is very proud of our reputation for excellent research, and for the calibre, dedication, professionalism, collaboration and engagement of our research community. We understand that integrity must be an essential characteristic of all aspects of research, and that as a University entrusted with undertaking research we must clearly and consistently demonstrate that the confidence placed in our research community is rightly deserved. The University therefore ensures that everyone engaged in research is trained to the very highest standards of research integrity and conducts themselves and their research in a way that respects the dignity, rights, and welfare of participants, and minimises risks to participants, researchers, third parties, and the University itself. 

In the School of Health and Social Care we are strongly focused on the translation of our research into real-life benefits for users, carers and professionals across the range of health and social care services. In doing so our staffs has long established links with a range of international networks and similar university departments in Europe and around the world, and are committed to building productive relationships with front-line policymakers and practitioners. Some senior researchers have also been embedded within the NHS to ensure healthcare and service provision is developed and informed by high quality robust research.                                                                                                               

Alongside this we play an integral role in the Welsh Government’s research infrastructure, through the Centre for Ageing & Dementia Research, Wales School for Social Care Research and the Welsh Health Economic Support Service, increasing the volume of research taking place within Wales. While some of our PhD programmes form part of the ESRC Doctoral Training Centre for Wales, a pan-Wales collaboration to train top-level social scientists. Our funding also comes from a wide range of prestigious funders such as the Research Councils, European research programmes, Government, Ministry of Defence, professional bodies, private sector and charitable organisations, with the school securing £7.37m of funding across the last three years.

Supporting our staff and students in their research is a range of facilities including  our Health and Wellbeing Academy, which provides healthcare services to the local community, a range of clinical and audiology suites and state-of-the-art research facilities. These include a high density EEG suite, a fully-fitted sleep laboratory, a social observation suite, eye-tracking, psychophysiological, tDCS and conditioning labs, a lifespan lab and baby room, and over 20 all-purpose research rooms.

Career Opportunities

Having a PhD demonstrates that graduates can work effectively in a team, formulate, explore and communicate complex ideas and manage advanced tasks. Jobs in academia (eg postdoctoral research, lecturing), education, government, management, the public or private sector are possible. Examples include administrators, counsellors, marketing specialists, and researchers.

The Postgraduate Research Office Skills Development Team offer support and a training framework for example in creating a researcher profile based upon publications and setting up your own business. The Swansea Employability Academy assists students in future career opportunities, improving CVs, job applications and interview skills.

Swansea University’s Research Environment combines innovation and excellent facilities to provide a home for multidisciplinary research to flourish. Our research environment encompasses all aspects of the research lifecycle, with internal grants and support for external funding and enabling impact/effect that research has beyond academia. 

Swansea University is very proud of our reputation for excellent research, and for the calibre, dedication, professionalism, collaboration and engagement of our research community. We understand that integrity must be an essential characteristic of all aspects of research, and that as a University entrusted with undertaking research we must clearly and consistently demonstrate that the confidence placed in our research community is rightly deserved. The University therefore ensures that everyone engaged in research is trained to the very highest standards of research integrity and conducts themselves and their research in a way that respects the dignity, rights, and welfare of participants, and minimises risks to participants, researchers, third parties, and the University itself.

School of Health and Social Care 

In the School of Health and Social Care we are strongly focused on the translation of our research into real-life benefits for users, carers and professionals across the range of health and social care services. In doing so our staff have long established links with a range of international networks and similar university departments in Europe and around the world, and are committed to building productive relationships with front-line policymakers and practitioners. Some senior researchers have also been embedded within the NHS to ensure healthcare and service provision is developed and informed by high quality robust research.                                                                                                                 

Alongside this we play an integral role in the Welsh Government’s research infrastructure, through the Centre for Ageing & Dementia Research, Wales School for Social Care Research and the Welsh Health Economic Support Service, increasing the volume of research taking place within Wales. While some of our PhD programmes form part of the ESRC Doctoral Training Centre for Wales, a pan-Wales collaboration to train top-level social scientists. Our funding also comes from a wide range of prestigious funders such as the Research Councils, European research programmes, Government, Ministry of Defence, professional bodies, private sector and charitable organisations, with the school securing £7.37m of funding across the last three years.

Supporting our staff and students in their research is a range of facilities including our Health and Wellbeing Academy, which provides healthcare services to the local community, a range of clinical and audiology suites and state-of-the-art research facilities. These include a high density EEG suite, a fully-fitted sleep laboratory, a social observation suite, eye-tracking, psychophysiological, tDCS and conditioning labs, a lifespan lab and baby room, and over 20 all-purpose research rooms.

Career Opportunities

Having a Master’s by research degree shows that you can communicate your ideas and manage tasks. Jobs in academia, education, government, management, the public or private sector are possible. 

The Postgraduate Research Office Skills Development Team offer support and a training framework for example in creating a researcher profile based upon publications and setting up your own business. The Swansea Employability Academy assists students in future career opportunities, improving CVs, job applications and interview skills.
