Your programme of Research
Prospective students typically propose a programme of Research and are allocated supervisors who they meet on a regular basis to help shape the project. We can also help you to work on your proposal.
A programme of practical research training helps to get your research project off to a flying start and bring it to a successful conclusion.
You can study on either a full time or part time basis for research qualifications leading to:
- MA by Research
- MPhil
- PhD
International students may choose to study here in the UK or at home online, attending the University for research training events for a few weeks each year.
Research students in the School benefit from first class facilities and a friendly postgraduate community that extends across the University.
