Study for your PhD in healthcare and resilience with the Centre of Resilience for Social Justice

 The Centre of Resilience for Social Justice fosters a rich and rewarding postgraduate research student culture, with membership of the centre and participation in projects and events throughout the programme.

For those joining us as student researchers, ambitious and talented postgraduate research students are at the heart of the research and enterprise activities within the Centre of Resilience for Social Justice.

Our doctoral students past and present work on resilience related to practitioners, schools, work, mental health, parents and disability. Some of them are active practitioners in these fields themselves. They are all active members of the resilience forum and work closely with Boingboing too.

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. 

See current PhD students and supervisors in our 'Who we are' pages and find out more through the university's programme page for PhD in health and wellbeing | PhD in resilience.

As well as this, our staff members inform the teaching in many areas of the university, bringing resilience to prominence in the thinking of a wide variety of people. We have  training programmes through Boingboing which are accredited through the university's Recognising the Educational Quality (REQ®) scheme, currently awarded to ‘Supporting Academic Resilience Approach (SARA)’ and ‘Facilitating Resilient Therapy (FRT)'.
