MPhil

The MPhil is studied over two years. It consists of 120 credits from the taught element spread over two semesters, supplemented by a thesis. MPhil theses should normally be especially composed accounts of research of no more than 40,000 words excluding the bibliography and appendices. The thesis is prepared during the second year of full-time study and is a major element in the MPhil course.

Candidates for the MLitt and MPhil degrees are normally required to achieve a grade of 14 (out of 20) in order to progress to writing the dissertation or thesis. In order to qualify for the award of the degree of MLitt or MPhil, the dissertation or thesis must likewise achieve the required standard. Some of the MLitt and MPhil students can stay on, or return, for a PhD.
