A PhD program focuses entirely on research. Each doctoral project represents the distinct evolution of your personal research initiative, carried out under the supervision of at least two faculty advisors specializing in your field of study.
You can undertake PhD research in any discipline offered by the University, provided there's adequate expertise to support your proposed study. Interdisciplinary research projects are encouraged. The University offers a structured research environment with close supervision and regular progress assessments. Distance learning options for PhD studies are also available at London Met.
Earning a PhD involves creating novel contributions to your field of knowledge. This demands comprehensive understanding of existing literature, strong analytical abilities to evaluate research findings, along with self-discipline and significant time commitment.
While this degree doesn't include formal coursework, you'll receive research methodology training and can enroll in relevant master's-level courses. Additionally, you may pursue a Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education alongside your research work.
