Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Your supervisory team will include a Director of Studies and one or more second supervisors with expertise and interest in your research area.

However, much of the work for your degree will be carried out independently, and you will need the initiative, motivation and commitment to succeed.

Your supervisors will help you to define your research programme, agree any associated training requirements, and provide direction while encouraging you to develop as an independent researcher.
