Mode of study / duration

Registration is on a full-time or part-time basis, under the direction of a supervisory team appointed by the University. You will be expected to submit your thesis at the end of three years of full-time registration for PhD, or two years for MPhil (or part-time equivalent).



Subject Summary

The focus of the programme is to carry out research under the guidance of your supervisor. Over the course of study you can attend postgraduate skills training organised by the Graduate School.



Course structure

There is no specific course content as such. An MPhil programme runs for 2 years full-time or 4 years part-time.



The MPhil is open to both full and part time candidates and is often a useful preparation for a career within academia or consultancy.

Graduate

The minimum academic requirement for admission to a research degree programme is normally an Upper Second Class Honours degree from a UK or ROI HE provider, or an equivalent qualification acceptable to the University. Further information can be obtained by contacting the School.

An MPhil programme runs for 2 years full-time or 4 years part-time.

Entry Year: 2024/25
