A PhD program focuses entirely on research. Each doctoral project involves creating your own unique research initiative, carried out under the supervision of at least two faculty advisors specializing in your field.

You can undertake PhD research in any University-approved discipline where faculty expertise aligns with your proposed study. 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 requires contributing new knowledge to your field. This demands comprehensive understanding of existing literature, strong analytical abilities to evaluate research findings, self-motivation, and significant time commitment.

While the program has no formal coursework, you'll receive research methodology training and may audit relevant master's level courses. Additionally, you can pursue a PG Cert in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education alongside your research.

Our vibrant research community offers numerous opportunities. The University is currently expanding its research investments. Through the Graduate School, you'll access professional development events, conferences, lecture series, and research seminars. You'll also have the chance to present at our annual Student-Staff Research Conference.
