Earning a PhD requires conducting approved research on a specific topic and defending your written dissertation in an oral examination. Your research must offer new insights to the field or creatively apply existing knowledge. The dissertation, limited to 80,000 words, should showcase deep understanding and analytical skills in your chosen discipline.
BNU invites applications for research programs spanning diverse fields such as: Nursing, health and wellness, Creative arts and environmental design, 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, 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.
