Qualifications and durations

MRes and PhD Full-time 4 years

Overview

This degree programme has been developed by leading universities of the national NewRoutePhD Consortium in response to a demand for PhD students who have both breadth and depth. The student undertakes taught courses over the first two years (gaining a MRes award at the end of year one) while gradually increasing the amount of time spent on full-time research to 100% by year 3. As well as submitting a PhD thesis to the same standard as usual, the student will gain both generic skills to improve their research and professional skills individually tailored to their needs.
