Course summary

Why choose this course?

At the University of Wolverhampton, further opportunities for training and skills development during your Environmental and Analytical Sciences research are offered and encouraged. While working towards your award, you will be able to participate in research training with postgraduates outside the school, take teaching skills development in relevant undergraduate modules and give presentations among your colleagues. Completion of your PhD will enable you to progress into a number of different careers – including jobs in the academic, government, NGO and private sectors – with a healthy repertoire of skills and contacts.

What happens on the course?

The PhD programme in the School has the following three milestones:

Registration

Progression

Examination

Registration

Applicants who satisfy the entry requirements are encouraged to complete the online 'Expression of Interest' form. If the initial application is satisfactory, a conditional offer will be issued and a potential supervisor will be allocated who will provide guidance on the research proposal development.

An interview will take place when the final draft of the research proposal is submitted for approval. The granting of the interview does not imply that the applicant will necessarily be admitted to a research degree programme. Subject to the satisfactory interview and that the Faculty Research Committee (FRC) is satisfied that: a) the research proposal is sound and has the potential to deliver a postgraduate research award; and b) the proposal is appropriately resourced, the applicant will be admitted to the research degree programme.

Progression

All students who wish to study for a PhD are required to complete a progression within 18 months (for full-time students) or 36 months (for part-time students). The student at the progression needs to produce a paper which summarises his/her achievements on the research programme and outlines future research plans (including research methods), and conduct an oral presentation of the paper at a workshop set up for the progression purpose.
