Opportunities exist to transfer from MPhil to PhD, if your progress on the work demonstrates that development to this level can be achieved. You must submit a full transfer report with your application, and undergo an oral examination. Details of research opportunities within each Faculty are provided on each Faculty's pages. All Faculties at this University admit research students and are happy to discuss your choice of project. Please contact the Faculty which appears to be the most relevant, or the secretary to the Research Degree Committee.
Many students now access university through non-traditional routes.
This means that they may have little or no experience of writing for academic purposes. To help students become proficient in areas such as essay and report writing, preparation for examinations and effective reading, the Learning Methods Unit provides tutors for learner development who work with students to develop their learning skills. Help is also available for students for whom English is a second language. For more information, please contact the appropriate Faculty Office.
