哲学硕士（MPhil）计划将使您能够对所选主题进行监督研究，并撰写书面论文（通常不超过70,000字）。您可以在1至3年（全日制）或最多4年（非全日制）内完成MPhil。大多数学生都是首先获得MPhil学位的注册。要求学生在所选学科的前沿进行监督研究，然后必须将其写成实质性论文。从MPhil转到博士学位的过程需要学生通过评估过程，该过程通常包括提交书面作业和口试。博士学位的最后阶段是口语或口语考试，要求学生向审查委员会辩护论文。
The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) programme will enable you to conduct supervised research into your chosen topic and produce a written thesis (typically up to 70,000 words). You can complete the MPhil in 1 to 3 years (full-time) or up to 4 years (part-time). The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme comprises a more significant piece of research which will enable you to contribute to the academic community through a larger written thesis (typically up to 90,000 words). You can complete your PhD in 2 to 4 years (full-time) or up to 6 years (part-time). Most students are registered in the first instance for the degree of MPhil. Students are expected to carry out supervised research at the leading edge of their chosen subject, which must then be written up as a substantial thesis. The transfer from MPhil to PhD is subject to students passing an assessment process which normally involves submission of written work and an oral examination.
