Normally, doctoral applicants are expected to register at the beginning of October, as the academic year runs from 1 October to 30 September.
Tuition fees cover registration, tuition, examination and graduation and are paid annually.
These fees do not cover residential accommodation, meals, books etc. WBS offers the option to study both full and part-time. On the part-time option you are normally expected to attend research training courses at WBS on one day each week for the first year. Applicants who hold an academic post overseas may also, in certain circumstances, be accepted on a part-time basis in their first year. Note that it is not possible to study for a doctorate at WBS at a distance.
