Course summary

Why study this course?

A PhD is conducted purely by research. Each PhD is the unique development of your individual research project, performed under the guidance of at least two supervisory members of staff with expertise in the research area.

You can pursue a PhD in any area of research within the University where suitable expertise is available to support the proposed project. Cross-disciplinary projects are welcome. The University provides a supportive framework for research and each student’s work is carefully overseen and progress monitored. It is also possible to study a PhD via distance learning at London Met.

Completing a PhD means you'll be making an original contribution to knowledge. It requires an excellent overview of existing research in your field, plus analytical skills to assess research claims. You'll also need to be a self-motivator and be able to dedicate considerable time to completing a PhD.

Although technically there is no taught component to this degree, you will receive research training and have access to any master's level modules that may be useful to your research topic.

Our research community is lively and diverse. You'll be joining us at an exciting time where the University is investing into research. As part of our Graduate School, you'll be able to attend frequent events to enhance your personal development and help with preparation for life after your PhD. On top of this, you'll benefit from conferences, lecture series and research seminar series and be encouraged to present at our annual Student-Staff Research Conference.

Your supervisors will support your progress, which will be monitored by your academic School. As part of your PhD, you'll be encouraged to attend conferences, write papers and publish while undertaking your research.

London Met has strong links with various industries, businesses, hospital trusts, the legal profession, as well as governmental and non-governmental organisations, plus local stakeholders in London. These connections and networking opportunities may impact your research and career.

Our specialist research areas include: The Centre for Creative Arts, Cultures and Engagement; The Cyber Security Research Centre; The Cellular Molecular and Immunology Research Centre; The Centre for Primary Health and Social Care; The Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit and The Global Diversities and Inequalities Research Centre, to name a few.
