The MPhil/PhD is a research degree programme leading either to the MPhil or PhD. All our research students register initially for the MPhil but the vast majority are upgraded to the PhD. Occasionally, a student applies for the MPhil with no intention of going on to the PhD. Applicants to our MPhil/PhD research programme are normally expected to have an MSc qualification in IR or a related discipline. Please see our FAQs for Prospective Research Applicants for further information about applying for the MPhil/PhD. The MSc IR Theory, by contrast, is an 11-month taught postgraduate degree course.
