| A PhD is the highest academic award. This programme allows you to explore and pursue a research project that is built around a substantial research question and leads to an original contribution to knowledge. A full-time PhD is a three-year programme (often with a fourth year for “writing up”). During this time you will have the opportunity to develop your research skills by taking part in training courses, events, and seminars. You will have one main supervisor as well as one or more secondary supervisors, who will guide and support you across all phases of the programme. At the same time, you will have significant independence in conducting your research. The PhD culminates in the production of a large-scale piece of written thesis. This is standardly up to 80,000 words but may be closer to 40,000 words where live performance and/or its documentation (often in the form of video) make up a significant part of the thesis. |
