This programme involves independent research with guidance from a supervisor. You will complete a thesis on a chosen topic.

Research students normally have two internal supervisors with specialist knowledge of their subject areas and have regular meetings with them for advice, monitoring and other support. Where appropriate, additional advisors may also be utilised. Research students also contribute to the Department’s internal seminar series and may also be able to contribute to teaching.
