Course programme
Study at MPhil/PhD level takes the form of supervised individual research. Students work on one topic of their choice for the duration of the study period. Students are expected to produce appropriate written work to their supervisors on a regular basis, who can then provide feedback and agree the next stage of work.
Due to the nature of postgraduate research programmes, the majority of time is spent in independent study and research. Students will have meetings with their academic supervisor, but the frequency of these will vary depending on individual requirements, subject area, staff availability, and stage of programme.
