Course Overview

The highlight

  • A PhD programme includes an allocation to a bespoke supervisory team to advise and guide each student through all aspects of their study. In addition, each student has access to a wide range of learning opportunities within the Graduate School and the University as a whole.
  • Our research degrees are not taught courses. Each student's research degree programme is personalised to match their interests to the research priorities, staff expertise, and research facilities available.
  • You will have access to dedicated research facilities and will be encouraged to publish in collaboration with your supervisors and to take part in research conferences.

Entry Requirement 

Applications for research degrees are assessed on the following criteria:

  • That the proposed research seems likely to satisfy the academic requirements of a research degree;
  • That the proposed research is feasible in practical terms;
  • That you seem likely to be able to cope with the academic demands of a research degree;
  • That the Faculty is able to provide the appropriate supervisory expertise and resources
  • Ph.D. applicants will normally be expected to hold a Master's degree in a relevant area

Once assessed, you will be either invited to a formal enrolment interview or asked to revise your application and resubmit it.

UCAS tariff
