What's the difference between an MPhil and PhD?
In essence, it relates to the contribution you make to existing knowledge on the research topic that you've selected.
A PhD contributes new knowledge beyond what's currently available. An MPhil contributes new understanding of existing knowledge, by way of a critical review or evaluation.
