PhD / MPhil
Bath Spa University offers opportunities for supervised, original research leading to the degrees of MPhil and PhD.
Work at research degree level is one of the most demanding and rewarding experiences in higher education. It involves direct engagement with a chosen field of study and, through this, the chance to explore ideas and problems in considerable depth, and innovative ways. Successful completion of an MPhil or a PhD represents the fulfilment of a person’s intellectual potential and a major life achievement.
Bath Spa organises its research degree programme through the Graduate School, which works closely with other Schools and all research supervisors. It also provides training, a seminar series and a range of formal and informal activities for graduate students.
Every research student can expect close, experienced supervision and access to good library resources. In turn, they are expected to demonstrate consistent progress in their work and a commitment to the pursuit of excellence. Study can be on either a full-time or part-time basis. Most researchers work on campus; all are expected to be here on a frequent and regular basis.
