Earning a research degree from Middlesex University empowers you to pioneer fresh approaches for solving significant academic challenges while adding novel insights to current knowledge. Fundamentally, the key distinction between an MPhil and PhD lies in the nature of contribution to your chosen research field. A PhD creates entirely new knowledge that expands beyond existing information, while an MPhil offers fresh perspectives on current knowledge through critical analysis or assessment.
Dedicated guidance
Your research journey will be overseen by a Director of Studies along with at least one additional supervisor from the University, frequently complemented by an external specialist.
Your supervisory team serves as academic mentors, assisting in refining your research goals, organizing your study framework, and cultivating additional competencies. They'll provide guidance on essential literature, relevant coursework, and valuable research seminars and workshops.
