Learning and assessment

PhD students undertake a viva to assess that they are progressing sufficiently in their studies.

The student is usually required to produce a report and a detailed timetable for further work.

This takes place 12-18 months after initial registration.

Career prospects

One of the University of Bradford's goals is to equip all our students with the attributes and capabilities to be confident and capable in their life beyond university.
