Why study MPhil/PhD Law at Middlesex University?
In essence the difference between a MPhil and PhD 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
