Obtaining a postgraduate degree
The University of Greenwich's preferred route to the award of a PhD is, in the first instance, registration for an MPhil. Dependant on good progress, you may then be able to transfer to a PhD. You will be assigned supervisors whose roles are to guide and advise you while acting as a sounding board for your ideas as you progress through your research.
The maximum timescales for the completion of a PhD are five years for full-time study and six years if you are studying part-time.
