Earning a PhD requires conducting approved research on a selected topic and defending your written dissertation during an oral examination. Your work must offer either new insights to the field or an innovative application of current knowledge. The dissertation, limited to 80,000 words, should showcase thorough understanding and analytical engagement with the subject area.
BNU invites prospective students to pursue research degrees in diverse fields such as: Nursing, health and wellness, Creative arts and environmental studies, Business administration, Aviation studies, Security studies, and Higher Education research.
We provide two research degree options: the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). While both programs are completed at BNU, the degrees are conferred by Staffordshire University. As a research candidate, you'll be dually registered with Staffordshire University and enrolled at BNU, where we oversee your academic guidance and support services.
