Curriculum:
- There is no specific course content.
- You are expected to carry out your research under the guidance of your supervisor.
- Over the course of study you can attend postgraduate skills training organised by the Graduate School, and you will undertake further training and development opportunities as deemed appropriate by your supervisory team.
- You will normally register, in the first instance, as an ‘undifferentiated PhD student’ which means that you have satisfied staff that you are capable of undertaking a research degree.
- The decision as to whether you should undertake an MPhil or a PhD is delayed until you have completed ‘differentiation’.
