MPhil / PhD Postgraduate Research
University of WinchesterOn campus, Winchester
Course overview
Each student's work is managed in collaboration with an expert supervisory team. This is led by a Director of Studies together with (a) second supervisor(s) and may also include specialist adviser(s), especially in the case of interdisciplinary research. This supervisory team supports the student and oversees the development of the research programme through regular supervision sessions.
Research students undertake research training through the Research Training Programme and by attending appropriate seminars, conferences or other events as advised by their supervisory team. This leads to the production of a thesis or, in the case of candidates in Creative Writing or Creative Practice, the production of creative work supported by contextual materials.
