MPhil/PhD Art & Design at Cardiff Metropolitan University

Cardiff Met offers MPhil and PhD research degrees in Art & Design, based on independent study in which the candidate works with supervisors to identify the most suitable programme of research. The PhD is a Level 8 award involving an original research project supported by a supervisory team, ending in a viva voce examination of a submitted thesis. The MPhil is a master's-level research qualification completed over a shorter period, without the same requirement for original contribution.
