conceptual phd

N

I really enjoyed my university courses in Biomedical science and my masters in neuroscience. I got good grades 2.1 in my undergraduate and a distinction for my master`s project. However I hate lab work and my masters project which was in neuroimaing involved very basic statistics and minimal computer programming. I know I would struggle to go further because my maths would hold me back with regards to the computer programming and the statistics. Is there anyway I could do a conceptual PhD? If so what would I look for?

If I understand you correctly, you are asking whether you can do a PhD in biomedical science without using any computer programming, lab work, or statistics. Correct? If so, the answer is that you are not looking for a biomedical science PhD as such, but perhaps a PhD in some aspect of biomedicine e.g. the philosophy or sociology of medicine, or a PhD in neuropsychology.

Or have I misunderstood your question?

N

maybe cognitive psychology? or social psychology and neuroscience?

Metabanalysis you have understood the question and I think they are probably the best options available to me. However as I have taken courses that have a science slant I am wondering if someone will accept me for a phd that is more qualitative. At the moment I am trying out qualitative research by doing a film piece that uses qualitative sources. If this goes well I can use it as part of my application process.
