The thesis would typically be between 20,000 and 40,000 words. A text based PhD is submitted as a thesis of 80,000 words. The submission is expected to take place between three or four years of study full time, or six years part time.
For both research degrees you'll be supported by a supervisory team, comprising at least two members of staff with expertise in your area. Your supervisory team can include expertise from across a wide range of disciplines within the School and University, as appropriate.
