The PhD serves as our flagship research program. For full-time students, this three-year course involves working at the most advanced level in your discipline to produce a comprehensive thesis (limited to 100,000 words) that offers a meaningful and enduring contribution to the field. Each PhD candidate receives guidance from a 'supervisory team,' typically comprising two faculty members with relevant expertise. While students usually collaborate closely with a 'primary supervisor,' applicants should proactively reach out to potential supervisors during the application phase. (Review our faculty directory, including their specialties and publications. The Director of Postgraduate Research can provide assistance if needed.) Your prospective supervisor will support you in refining your research proposal.

The standard minimum entry requirements for Postgraduate Research are an upper second class honours degree (2:1) from a UK university or an equivalent degree qualification from an overseas university.

Applicants who have not reached this level, can be admitted to a 6-, 10- or 20-week pre-sessional English Language course, with the course length depending on your current UKVI/IELTS score (which must be over 6.0, with no component under 5.5). TOEFL iBT: 92 (no component under 23); 176 (minimum of 169 per component) in Cambridge Scale (CPE or CAE; Pearson Academic (PTE): 62 (with no less than 56 in each Communicative Skill).
