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 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.
