Description
A PhD is usually taken on a full-time basis over 3 years. A part-time option, taking a minimum of four years, is also available. On a full time basis, the PhD Programme starts in September at the beginning of the academic year. However, if necessary for your training, you may be required to come to the University earlier to attend some preparatory courses.
Year 1
During your first year of studies, you will be required to:
Pass at least 60 credits from PhD/Masters level courses in Research Methods* and other modules required for your area of concentration (to be decided with your PhD supervisor and approved by the PhD Director);

attend three teaching modules (if recipient of one of the Studentships);

organise periodical meetings with your supervisor(s).
At the end of your year, you will submit a research proposal that will be defended in front of the Faculty and will be assessed by an independent internal examiner. This process will coincide with your confirmation of registration and, if successful, it will grant you the status of PhD candidate.
