A PhD program focuses entirely on research. Each doctoral project involves creating your own unique research initiative, carried out under the mentorship of at least two faculty supervisors specializing in your field.
You can undertake PhD research in any discipline offered by the University, provided there's adequate supervisory expertise. Interdisciplinary 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 contributing novel insights to your field. This demands comprehensive knowledge of existing literature and strong analytical abilities to evaluate research findings. Successful candidates must demonstrate self-discipline and commit significant time to their doctoral work.
While the program doesn't include formal coursework, you'll receive research methodology training and can enroll in relevant master's-level modules. Additionally, you may pursue a PG Cert in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education alongside your research.
Our vibrant research community welcomes diverse perspectives. The University is currently expanding its research capabilities, offering an ideal environment for doctoral candidates. Through our Graduate School, you'll access professional development events, networking opportunities, and academic conferences. You'll also have chances to present your work at our annual Student-Staff Research Conference.
