All Postgraduate Research courses

Postgraduate Research programme structures

PhD

  • Full-time: 3 years of research, with up to 12 months writing up if required
  • Part-time: 5 years of research, with up to 20 months of writing up if required

Masters

  • Full-time: one year of research, with up to 12 months writing up if required
  • Part-time: 2 years of research, with up to 24 months of writing up if required

The maximum writing-up period is included in your overall programme length, which means that international PGRs will not need to apply for an additional visa to cover the writing-up phase. If you need to move into the writing-up period of your research degree, you must enrol for this phase and you will be liable to pay a continuation fee.
