Earning a PhD requires conducting approved research on a specific topic and defending your written dissertation in an oral examination. Your research must offer either new knowledge or an innovative application of existing understanding. The dissertation, limited to 80,000 words, should showcase thorough expertise and analytical engagement with the field.
BNU invites prospective students to pursue research degrees in diverse areas such as: Nursing, health and wellness, Creative arts, design, performance and environmental studies, Business administration, Management, Aviation and Security, as well as Higher Education studies.
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 also being enrolled at BNU, where we oversee your academic guidance and support.
