Students with exceptionally high qualifications or previous research experience may proceed with an M.Litt by research only. This option is only available for students with independent finance, whose work is not regulated by the requirements of a funding body. Students proceeding via this route may complete an M.Litt thesis at the end of one year, or produce an upgrading piece which will enable them to proceed to a PhD.

M.Phil/ PhD (2/3 years)

Students' professional progress is supported by a personal development scheme which allows them to pick up ancillary research skills such as languages or computing on an individual basis.
