Bachelor's Degree
The School's primary research program is the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), a three to four-year program centered on producing an 80,000-word maximum PhD dissertation.
Additionally, the School provides a two-year Master's program (MPhil) and a one-year research Master's (MSt (Res)). The MPhil includes the coursework elements of an MLitt in its initial year, followed by a roughly 40,000-word thesis in the second year. Learn more about the MPhil on its dedicated program page. The MSt (Res) involves a full-time research endeavor culminating in a 30,000-word maximum dissertation. This program serves as an ideal option for those seeking either a shorter research-focused degree or preparatory work before pursuing a PhD.
