Humanitarianism and Conflict Response PhD

Degree awarded: Doctor of Philosophy

Duration: 48 Months. [Full-Time]

Entry requirements:

Successful completion of a Masters course with an overall classification of Merit or higher, or its overseas equivalent, with an element of research training, is a prerequisite for entry to a PhD. A research proposal must be included with the formal application materials. 

Course fees: For entry in the academic year beginning September 2013, the tuition fees are as follows:

• PhD (full-time)
  UK/EU students (per annum): £4,800
  International students (per annum): £13,000
• PhD (part-time)
  UK/EU students (per annum): £2,400
  International students (per annum): £6,500

Please note for the majority of projects where experimentation requires further resource: higher fee bands (where quoted) will be charged rather than the base rate for supervision, administration and computational costs. The fees quoted above will be fully inclusive and, therefore, you will not be required to pay any additional bench fees or administration costs.

All fees for entry will be subject to yearly review and incremental rises per annum are also likely over the duration of the course for UK/EU students (fees are typically fixed for International students, for the course duration at the year of entry). For general fees information please visit: postgraduate fees. Always contact the department if you are unsure which fee applies to your project.
