Course summary
TIf you are a graduate in Criminology or a similar discipline, this Criminology PhD / PhD by Published Works programme offers an excellent opportunity to expand your knowledge and research skills. The PhD in Criminology is an advanced research degree, awarded based on successful oral defence (viva voce) of the final thesis. A PhD is the highest qualification that any UK university can award. It will also offer researchers an excellent opportunity to develop their career in academia or move into higher management positions in the industry. Our faculty of Business and Law welcomes applications that fit with the specialisms of our research staff.This Criminology PhD programme is a way for you to develop your specialism and improve your skills in research, academic writing, presentation, and practice. While developing your research projects, you will initially receive general, and project-specific training so that you can conduct your research work effectively and independently. Normally, our PhD students are initially registered for an MPhil and within the first twelve months of their study, they are expected to transfer from the MPhil to a PhD programme. The transfer process requires students to produce a detailed research proposal and apply for ethics approval. Students will be required to present their written work to an academic audience and then proceed for the internal viva examination with an internal transfer viva examiner.
