STRUCTURED PhD PROGRAMME

Overview

The Structured PhD is a four-year, fulltime, student-centred programme organised around the primary goal of supporting scholarly research. It offers a broad template designed to achieve flexibility in student choice while respecting the wide range of disciplines and scholarly methodologies within the school.

Within the structured PhD programme, the PhD research project remains central; every PhD student is expected to make a distinctive, original and publishable contribution to knowledge. The student's research is supported and complemented through a range of taught modules and accredited activities aimed at ensuring the acquisition of high-level skills in research methods, analysis and communication. Each PhD student will be assigned a primary supervisor who they meet regularly and supervisory committee that they meet with from time to time.

Any PhD student who is working more than five hours per week in paid work unrelated to their research is not eligible to enrol in the fulltime PhD programme. Prospective students interested in pursuing a PhD on a part-time basis should consider the Traditional PhD Programme.
