This full time or part time doctoral programme is suitable for people who have a particular research question or topic in mind, and wish to explore this through independent study in order to produce an original contribution to the subject. If you aspire to a research career this is the most appropriate research degree to undertake.
If you do not already have a masters degree, you may be interested in one of our masters level research degrees – for instance, our ResM Art History (which enables a transfer directly into the PhD programme if you are making excellent progress), or else an MPhil degree.
