Research Degree Opportunities at University of Winchester

As a research student at Winchester you will join a thriving community of staff and postgraduate students who share scholarly interests, attend seminars and conferences and social events. Support mechanisms are first-class and the learning environment is professional but friendly.

When you pursue a research degree such as a MPhil or a PhD you will be working alongside inspirational research-active academics, many of whom are leaders in their respective fields. Our reputation for research excellence is growing as we continue to deliver impact at regional, national and international levels.
