Graduate students with good degrees may apply to read for the M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees of this University.  Such candidates should contact the Department of Biological & Chemical Sciences or Computer Science, Mathematics & Physics or CERMES to identify a research project and potential supervisor.

All research students must register initially for the M.Phil. degree but may later, with suitable progress, be upgraded to register directly for the Ph.D. degree. The Faculty has a strong track record in terms of its M.Phil. and Ph.D. graduates.
