A programme of self-directed independent study that takes places within a framework of researcher and professional development and with the support of an experienced supervisory team.

PhD degrees are doctoral level awards which are the highest level of academic degree. A PhD is awarded following successful completion of a research project and thesis which offers a significant new contribution to knowledge in the chosen subject area.

An MPhil is a postgraduate research master's degree which is awarded following completion of a research project and thesis.

Minimum entry requirement is an upper second class honours 2-1 degree or equivalent from a recognised higher education institution.
However a masters degree in an appropriate subject is considered to be a particularly valuable preparation for the academic and intellectual demands of an MPhil or PhD.
In some instances applicants without the minimum academic requirement may be considered for a place if they can demonstrate appropriate alternative qualifications relevant professional experience or previous research.
Teaching experience is not a requirement for applicants the quality of your research is the most important element of your application.
