General requirements

Applicants for the distance learning PhD/MPhil must provide evidence of prior research experience and/or training suitable for their intended programme of study. When they apply, they are expected to consult with their supervisor who can assess their skills, background and capacity to undertake independent study at a distance.

Besides formal qualifications, a key factor determining whether the Department decides to accept a candidate for either degree is the quality of his or her research proposal and its relevance to our own interests.

Successful completion of a research thesis demands a high level of self-discipline, motivation and commitment to the subject of research.

Great importance is placed on work experience, when relevant. Please contact the Department for more details.
