Course Overview

A Ph.D. is the highest academic award for which a student can be registered. This program allows you to explore and pursue a research project built around a substantial piece of work, which has to show evidence of original contribution to knowledge. A full-time Ph.D. is a three-year full-time program of research and culminates in the production of a large-scale piece of written work in the form of a research thesis that should not normally exceed 80,000 words. Completing a Ph.D. can give you a great sense of personal achievement and help you develop a high level of transferable skills that will be useful in your subsequent career, as well as contributing to the development of knowledge in your chosen field. You are expected to work to an approved program of work including appropriate programs of postgraduate study (which may be drawn from parts of existing postgraduate courses, final year degree programs, conferences, seminars, masterclasses, guided reading, or a combination of study methods). You will be appointed a main supervisor who will normally be part of a supervisory team, comprising up to three members to advise and support you on your project.
