A PhD in the UK: the extra 'ͯÑÕÊÓƵ' factor.
Universities in the UK are world-leading in the development and provision of PhD degrees. At the ͯÑÕÊÓƵ, we offer a high level of personal support, a welcoming, cross-disciplinary postgraduate community and research environments that focus on high impact and real-world change.
ͯÑÕÊÓƵ itself is a city renowned for its liberal and creative thinking. With both historic and modern quarters, it is one of the most lively and diverse cities in the United Kingdom.
