Programme Structure

Curriculum:

There is no specific course content as such. A PhD programme runs for 3-4 years full-time or 6-8 years part-time. Students can register for a writing up year should it be required.

The PhD is open to both full and part time candidates and is often a useful preparation for a career within academia or consultancy.

A research degree offers students an opportunity to foster their capacity for independent research and critical thought.

It also allows students to explore an area of interest and to understand and solve theoretical and practical problems within the field.

Undertaking a research degree can enhance a student's written and oral communication skills and a PhD is almost always a formal requirement for an academic post.
