PhD in Forced Migration |
The PhD in Forced Migration Studies is intended for those who intend to have a career in research either inside or outside the academy. The degree generally requires no coursework. Successful doctoral applicants must have a strong undergraduate degree and Masters qualification; a substantive background in a migration-related field; and a demonstrated ability to conduct methodologically sound, independent research (academic or otherwise). Strong students who do not meet all of these qualifications may be admitted on the condition that they register for a research methods course and/or the core course, or complete a Masters degree through the programme.
Submission of a research report based on substantial primary-source research is normally expected 36 months after initial enrolment, although full-time students have up to five years to complete the project. Part time students have up to ten years.
