Earning a PhD requires conducting approved research on a selected topic and defending your written dissertation during an oral examination. Your research must offer either new insights to the field or innovative applications of current knowledge. The dissertation, limited to 80,000 words, should showcase thorough understanding and analytical engagement with the subject area.
BNU invites prospective researchers to apply for advanced degrees in diverse fields such as: Nursing, health and wellness, Creative arts and environmental design, Business administration, Aviation studies, Security studies, and Higher Education studies.
The university provides two research-based programs: the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). While both programs are completed at BNU, Staffordshire University confers the degrees. As a research candidate, you'll be registered with Staffordshire University while receiving academic guidance and support from BNU faculty.
