The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is a supervised research program designed for individuals with prior research training who aren't yet qualified for direct PhD entry.
While requiring less extensive research than a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), the MPhil can sometimes serve as a stepping stone to doctoral studies.
This degree typically takes 1-2 years of full-time study to complete, with part-time options available.
