For five decades, we've built worldwide recognition as pioneers in innovative museum studies concepts and experimental approaches. Doctoral candidates undertake an autonomous research initiative with support from an advisory team. The maximum enrollment duration before submitting a thesis is 4 years for full-time students or 7 years for distance learners. Intensive research activities (encompassing experiments, lab work, field studies, and data gathering) typically span 3 to 3.5 years full-time or 6 to 6.5 years for distance programs. After completing active research, students may apply for a 12-month writing phase. The combined research and writing periods cannot surpass the total registration limit. Theses generally shouldn't exceed 80,000 words and must offer novel scholarly contributions with publication-worthy content. Final degree conferral requires successfully defending the thesis in an oral viva voce examination.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants must hold a UK undergraduate (Bachelors) degree with at least first class or upper second class honours or an equivalent qualification from a recognised overseas institution and a first class or 2:1 equivalent for a Masters degree. You should have a good knowledge of the field of Museum Studies; however, we recognise that knowledge acquired in other fields – from palaeontology to Modern Languages – can serve as a strong foundation for PhD study of museums, galleries and heritage. Students undertaking a PhD in Museum, Gallery and Heritage Practice will usually be working professionals. We will also consider individuals working outside of these formal relationships on the basis of their proposal or an agreed relationship with a museum or heritage organisation. We will consider individuals working in peripheral or commercial organisations associated with this sector (commercial gallery managers, trustees, environmental scientists, tourism officers and so on). We will consider non-professionals where the project has a strong practice-based element (such as a collection or heritage survey). IELTS (International English Language Testing Systems) - Academic Version minimum overall score 6.5 with minimum component score 5.5, TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) - Internet-based test minimum overall score 90 with minimum component score 20.
