About the programme

Potential applicants must have a suitable degree at Masters level. Acceptance onto the programme is dependent on a research proposal being approved and the availability of a supervisor. Provisional candidates will be required to present the proposal to the Departmental PhD Committee, (PhD Proposal Guidelines), which will decide whether the student's PhD candidacy can be confirmed. The proposal has to be presented within 6 months of first registration.

A PhD thesis is required to be an original‚ coherent and consistent body of work which reflects the candidate’s own efforts. The thesis may not be more than 80‚000 words. A candidate will undertake research‚ and such advanced study as may be required, under the guidance of a supervisor or supervisors appointed by Senate.

Programme start date and overall duration

Once an offer has been made you are able to register. International students need to comply with national regulations for visas etc before they are cleared for registration. Registration is an annual requirement.

The annual registration also requires the submission of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which sets out the expectations of both supervisor and student for the year. It is against this that your progress is assessed annually. Unbroken registration must be maintained from the first registration until graduation. If for exceptional circumstances your studies are interrupted, you may apply for leave of absence - this is at the faculty’s discretion.
