Course Summary

The PhD is normally studied over three years full-time, although it is possible to take the degree over up to six years on a part-time basis. After this minimum period of registration, every student is entitled to a continuation period of one year to write up their thesis. During the first year of study, you will undertake a tailored programme of generic and subject-specific research and general training. Members of the Postgraduate Research Committee meet with all first-year students in the Spring to review progress. PhD students who successfully complete the first-year review are able to upgrade from a probationary status to full PhD status. A successful outcome requires - satisfactory progress on your research (based on your supervisor's recommendation), satisfactory completion of the IR5601 Research Methods in International Relations module, and of your research proposal, satisfactory completion of your first-year training programme.
