INTRODUCTION RESEARCH PROGRAMMES

Extended doctoral programmes A growing number of students choose extended programmes (typically four years of study), which include specialist taught training and advanced research projects, often before selecting an area of particular interest to pursue to doctoral level. This route is especially popular in the science and engineering-based disciplines.


International dual PhD Bristol offers a number of dual PhD opportunities for doctoral students. A dual PhD award is one which leads to separate, but linked, awards from two partner institutions within a co-supervised research degree programme. These opportunities provide an enhanced training experience that gives access to a wide range of academic expertise, research facilities and international networks.


Candidates are registered at the two universities for the full period of their study, write one thesis that is examined independently by each institution, and spend approximately 50 per cent of their programme at each location.


Bristol supervisors partner with colleagues from Australia, Mexico, Europe and South Africa and students are recruited to specific research projects. For more information, visit bristol.ac.uk/doctoral-college/partnerships.

Distance learning Several of our schools offer the opportunity for you to complete your research degree via distance learning. Supervisors can be contacted by video link, telephone or email, while scheduled visits to the University provide opportunities for face-to-face contact.


Most of the library’s electronic resources – including journal archives, e-books and library catalogues – are available to use both on site and at a distance.


If you’re thinking about applying to study by distance learning, please contact the relevant school in the first instance to explore whether this is possible.
