PhD, MPhil or EngD?

Play the video The Centre for Digital Entertainment's Engineering Doctorate programme sees postgraduate students embedded in organisations such as visual effects company Double Negative and the National Trust.

We offer a PhD or MPhil and an EngD in Digital Media

  • Engineering Doctorate (EngD) - The EngD is a four-year postgraduate award intended for the UK's leading research engineers who want a high-flying career in industry. It is a radical alternative to the traditional PhD, being better suited to the needs of industry, and providing a more vocationally oriented doctorate in engineering.
  • Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) - A PhD degree is usually taken over a period of 3 years (full-time) or 6 years (part-time). The degree is awarded following the successful completion of a period of research which leads to the submission of a thesis and a viva voce. The thesis is expected to contain original research of publishable quality.
  • Master of Philosophy (MPhil) -  An MPhil is a one to two year degree. It is awarded following the successful completion of a period of research which includes the submission of a thesis and a viva voce. The thesis is expected to display an in-depth knowledge of part of the field of study and to make some original contribution to that area of research.
