Course summary

Research students working for MA, MPhil and PhD degrees are especially well catered for within the School, with dedicated research support workshops offered. Supervisors have generally light teaching loads enabling them to devote more time to research supervision. Research students are encouraged to feel they are part of a research community rather than working in isolation. We have excellent completion rates, and many of our former research students hold senior academic and government positions around the world. The research findings of PhD students often result in published output, either by the graduates themselves, or through joint papers written with their supervisors. Full time students are usually required to be in Durham during University term time.
