- The PhD. (Doctor of Philosophy) degree, which earns you the title Dr., is the highest academic degree. It is research only and requires you to write an original thesis (about 70-80,000 words) on a topic of your choice, so long as it is approved by one of our member of staff.
- Candidates for the PhD. are expected to have completed a master’s degree beforehand (M.A., MRes., or MPhil.).
- Once assigned a supervisor, you will work with him or her, meeting up whenever you want to.
-
- When your thesis is finished, you will have a viva examination, in which an external and internal examiner will read your work and discuss it with you.
