Overview
You can complete the Ocean Sciences (PhD/MPhil) offered at Bangor University after studying for only one year full-time or two years part-time. If you are a PhD candidate with a relevant Master's degree or at least two years' relevant experience, your period of registration could possibly be of only two years' duration full-time or three years part-time. This arrangement would have to be agreed by your Head of Department and Supervisor before your research is started. We expect PhD students to produce and submit a thesis for examination within four years of starting a three-year programme.
Facilities
Facilities include the research vessel (Prince Madog), aquaculture facilities and a full range of modern analytical equipment needed to study the biology, physics, geology and chemistry of oceans and seas.

Research degrees
MPhil and PhD are research degrees and are awarded after the examination of a candidate's thesis, produced following a period of research.
While most candidates pursue research degrees on a full-time basis, in certain circumstances it is possible to offer them on a part-time basis. You may register for these degrees at the beginning of any month. The usual period of registration for research degrees is:
- Full-time: MPhil 2 years / PhD 3 years
- Part-time: MPhil 3 years / PhD 5 years.
