About
You work under the supervision of one or more of these members of staff. Your PhD typically involves wide reading round the subject area in your first-year, then gradually developing original results over your second and third-years before writing them up in a coherent fashion.
We also offer the Masters by Dissertation (requiring at least one year of study, usually writing a connected account of some topic with original work very welcome but not required) and the MPhil (requiring two years of study and a thesis containing a few original insights).
