Course programme
The modules for this course can be found in the latest programme specification.
Candidates for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy undertake independent research in the form of a PhD thesis that meets the award’s learning outcomes.
First year: Research training stage
During the first year (or first two years for part-time students), all PhD students undertake the taught Research Methods modules as the foundation of their development as a professional researcher. The training is intended to help you develop your research, both conceptually and operationally, and to manage your project effectively.
All students study these modules in block teaching weeks.
Second/third year: The PhD research project stage
From your second year onwards (or third year if you are part-time) you will focus on your research project. This typically involves
- conducting the literature review
- developing research instruments
- carrying out fieldwork and data collection
- analysing the data
- interpreting the findings
In your second year (or third year if you are part-time), you also need to go through a formal progress review and this requires you to submit a progress report and present a fully developed research proposal to the review panel. After the review, your registration to the PhD degree will be confirmed (or you will be transferred to the MPhil programme if your progress is not satisfactory).
Final year: The writing-up stage
You move to the writing up stage in your final year. All research students should aim to submit their thesis within their minimum period of registration (4 years for full-time and 6 years for part-time). At this stage, the tasks involved are
- producing a final version of your thesis
- presenting your thesis
- defending your thesis in an oral examination
