RESEARCH DEGREES

As a research student, you will normally undertake some training in research methods before embarking on your programme of research. You will have an academic supervisor who will advise and support the direction of your research for the duration of the degree, and a co-supervisor will provide additional support as required.

Research degrees are academically rigorous programmes that require in-depth study of a topic for a sustained period of time. The award of a doctorate or other research degree recognises the commitment of successful candidates, the high-level skills they have gained, and their ability to present original research that furthers understanding of the subject matter.
