Overview

This degree programme has been developed by leading universities of the national New Route PhD 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.

IELTS 6.5 (with not less than 6.0 in each of the four components).
