Integrated PhD

Qualifications and durations

• MRes and PhD Full-time 4 years

Overview

This degree programme has been developed by leading universities of the national NewRoutePhD Consortium in response to a demand for PhD students who have both breadth and depth. The student undertakes taught courses over the first two years (gaining a MRes award at the end of year one) while gradually increasing the amount of time spent on full-time research to 100% by year 3. As well as submitting a PhD thesis to the same standard as usual, the student will gain both generic skills to improve their research and professional skills individually tailored to their needs.

Academic entry requirements

At least an upper second class honours degree or equivalent.

English requirements

IELTS 6.5 (with not less than 6.0 in each of the four components).
TOEFL 580 (paper-based test) or 237 (computer-based test) with a score of not less than 4 in the TWE or 92 (internet-based test) with not less than 21 in each of the components.
