What you will study

Due to the nature of postgraduate research programmes, the majority of time is spent in independent study and research. Students will have regular meetings with their academic supervisors, but the frequency of these will vary depending on the mode of study, individual requirements, subject area, staff availability, and stage of programme.

Career pathways

A doctoral qualification can be the capstone of academic achievement and often marks the beginning of a career in academia or research.
