Your progress will be closely supported by your supervisors and School. You will be encouraged to attend conferences, write papers and publish while pursuing your research.

The University has strong links with industry, businesses, the legal profession and governmental and non-governmental organisations that may impact your research and future career.

About this course

A PhD at London Met is conducted purely by research. Each PhD is the unique development of a student’s individual research project, performed under the guidance of at least two supervisory members of staff with expertise in the research area. A PhD can be pursued in any area of research within the University where suitable expertise is available to support the proposed research. The University provides a supportive framework for research and each student’s work is carefully overseen. It is also possible to study a PhD via distance learning at London Met.

a good honours degree from a UK university or equivalent (first or upper-second class), although applicants will usually tend to have obtained a master's degree before entry

PhD study is self-directed. Students are allocated a supervisory team composed of a lead supervisor and at least one other supervisor. These are allocated on the basis of the candidate's application, research topic and interview. We only offer supervision to candidates when we have adequate available supervisory expertise.

Assessment

To obtain a PhD the candidate is expected to investigate a topic and make an original contribution to knowledge.
During the course of the research, each student’s work is assessed annually by a Research Student Progress Group in order to ensure that good progress is being made and that adequate guidance is available.
The degree Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is awarded by the University after the successful presentation of a thesis based on an original piece of research, completed under the supervision of University staff, and the successful defence of the thesis at an oral examination.
