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 appropriate supervisory expertise. Interdisciplinary projects are encouraged. The University offers a structured research environment with close supervision and regular progress reviews. Distance learning options for PhD studies are also available at London Met.
Earning a PhD involves contributing new knowledge to your field. This demands comprehensive understanding of existing literature, strong analytical abilities to evaluate research findings, self-discipline, and significant time commitment.
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 Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education alongside your research.
Our vibrant research community offers numerous opportunities for growth. 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.
