Admissions are now closed for the October 2023 intake.
For information regarding Postgraduate Admissions, see the Postgraduate Admissions website.
The PhD in Development Studies is structured as a three year programme (nine terms) with an expectation that PhD students will submit a full draft of their thesis at the end of the third year or soon after. Students should submit their thesis for examination by viva during their 4th year if not before.
A part-time PhD route is available and proceeds in a similar sequence but over a longer duration, with a maximum allowed length of seven years.
Please note that the Admissions Committee will reject all applications that do not name a proposed supervisor. The list of available supervisors is here.
