Research Opportunities

Postgraduate Opportunities

Opportunities to carry out research in THEA member institutions at Masters and Doctoral level occur regularly. The institutions are interested in attracting talented individuals worldwide who would like to complete a Masters by Research or Doctoral Degree. One strong element of many of our research degree programmes is the opportunity to work closely with enterprise or community partners. The institutions adhere to the principles outlined in the National Framework for Doctoral Education, which is a framework that underpins excellence in all forms of research education.
