The degrees of PhD/MPhil are premier research qualifications for those who are, or aspire to be, senior academic or administrative leaders of primary, secondary or tertiary educational institutions or university lecturers or researchers.
The Doctorate caters for British, EU and international students.
Teaching & Assessment
Research students commence by undertaking a two semester MRes, at the end of which they register an outline research proposal for approval by the Institute's and the University's Research Committees. The time span in total is: Full time students, MPhil 18-36 months; PhD 24-60 months. Part time students: MPhil 30-48 months; PhD 36-72 months.
