To apply for a thesis-based MPhil or PhD, or Professional Doctorate, you need to submit a brief research proposal or statement of research interests and your CV.

The proposal enables us to assess your suitability for higher degree work, including:

• viability of the topic as a research study,
• clarity of the topic,
• methodology and the practicalities required for a research degree,
• the most appropriate supervisor(s) to be appointed.

To apply for a PhD by Published Work you will need to submit details of your research career and research interests, a list of your published work, indicating the published work on which the submission is anticipated to be based, and a brief CV to help us to assess your suitability for the programme and to allocate a suitable supervisor to you.
