We are a multidisciplinary group of criminology experts focused on intensive research. For over three decades, we've maintained outstanding standards in education, scholarly investigation, business initiatives, and professional development. Our research influences global policies. Doctoral candidates undertake self-directed research projects with support from a team of supervisors. The maximum enrollment duration before thesis submission is 4 years for full-time students and 7 years for part-time students. The active research phase (encompassing experiments, lab work, field studies, and data gathering) typically spans 3-3.5 years full-time or 6-6.5 years part-time. Following active research, students may apply for a writing-up period lasting up to one year. The combined active research and writing-up phases cannot surpass the total registration limit. Theses generally should not exceed 80,000 words and must present novel contributions to knowledge with publishable-quality work. Final degree conferral requires successful defense of the thesis in an oral examination (viva voce).
