Financing

MPhil Candidates require at least an Upper Second Class Honours degree with a strong background in the area in which they wish to undertake their research.  All research students are normally expected to register initially for the MPhil degree but may later, with suitable progress, be upgraded to register for the PhD degree.  In cases where the candidate already has an MPhil degree (or equivalent), direct entry to the PhD is possible.
