The Department has a strong research reputation and was ranked in the top 20 out of more than 100 departments in the country in the 2008 national assessment. Over half of our research was rated as 4* (world leading) or 3* (internationally excellent). The University of Essex was ranked ninth out of 159 universities and colleges for the quality of its research. The Department has excellent facilities and is located in purpose built buildings in a friendly campus environment.

Two Full Scholarships are now available, that provide support for a three-year programme of supervised research leading to a PhD.
