Posted By Hazel Harvey Uday, PhD's are awarded to individuals who have conducted a monitored research thesis. These are over an extended period and must be of original thought and be academically rigorous. As such PhD's are not a course of study. You will need to contact a university which has the staff expertise to supervise your programme of work. I would suggest that you contact any of the universities on our accredited list (membership section of the web-site) and discuss your intentions in some depth.

Posted By clive bradburn I agree with the other responses that it needs to be a piece of research but don't sit back and wait for something to happen. With all of your experience there must be something that you think is worthwhile exploring. My colleague is just finishing her write up for a PhD and I managed to get an MSc (I haven't got a first degree) just because we knocked on the doors of a few universities. If you put forward a good idea for a thesis then it is in the interest of that university and you to pursue it further. Think of something that interests you and go for it! best of luck.

Posted By Paul Lehane Uday You may see my own message seeking help with my proposed Phd in the psychology of accident investigation. Like yourself I have a number of years experience in enforcement. The way i went about things was to read about the subject and find an area that interested me and could be undetaken on a part time basis. With this broad proposal I then went about sending it to a number of universities. I would not worry about finding a Safety specialist Dept. I was accepted by London Guildhall Univ Psychology Dept but have no previous psychology experience. You can expect to undertake a range of lectures in areas where you need to develop skills. Please feel free to give a ring if you wish to have a chat about things in greater detail. 020 83134216
