Research opportunities

An MSc by Research degree offers the opportunity to study advanced-level, taught modules in your chosen area, along with research skills training, relevant to your particular field. An MPhil is a two-year programme: the objective of which is to produce a researcher who has acquired a good, all-round knowledge of their subject, and the research skills to carry out original research to a higher degree. A PhD is a research degree entailing research training and supervised research, either on an individual basis, or as part of a team. The aim of the PhD is to provide a thorough training in a particular academic area, through original investigation and experimentation. A PhD typically takes three years to complete and is assessed by thesis.

The following list of research areas offered by the College is not exclusive. Potential PhD students should get in touch with the relevant contacts below to informally discuss their proposed project prior to applying.
