Research degrees
Our research degrees allow you to conduct extended independent research into a subject of your choice. You’ll gain in-depth knowledge of your field, and make a meaningful contribution to it in return.
As a research student with us, you’ll be a valued part of this innovative community. There are two ways to join us as a research student. You can study for an MRes, which allows you to undertake research at Masters level, or you can pursue a PhD, which involves more extensive research for a longer period.
Online learning
You can study for both of our research degrees through online learning, allowing you to gain an advanced degree alongside other commitments.
You’ll receive the same amount of supervision as students based on campus, and specialist support from our Centre and the wider University.
