We offer traditional three-year PhDs, as well as MPhil degrees, four-year PhDs with Integrated Studies and four-year Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) programmes. Different modes of study are also available: full-time, part-time and research away from the University on a joint or remote location mode of study.

Please use the links in the 'See also' panel to find out about staff and research group interests. We recommend that - once you have identified your area of interest - you contact the appropriate member of academic staff to find out more about current project titles and possible funding opportunities.
