Programme Structure
Curriculum includes:

While developing your research projects, you will initially receive general, and project-specific training so that you can conduct your research work effectively and independently.
- Normally, our PhD students are initially registered for an MPhil and within the first twelve months of their study, they are expected to transfer from the MPhil to a PhD programme. The transfer process requires students to produce a detailed research proposal and apply for ethics approval.
- Students will be required to present their written work to an academic audience and then proceed for the internal viva examination with an internal transfer viva examiner.
