What is an integrated PhD?

An integrated PhD includes taking Masters-level modules in your first year as preparation for PhD-level research.

The taught year will help develop your research skills, ready for your PhD. It covers:

  • quantitative, qualitative and analytical methods

  • empirical design

  • programming. 


Alongside your core modules, you take the Innovation, Management and Policy Pathway modules covering advanced qualitative methods and introduction to theory.

Through the taught modules, you’ll gain a meaningful progression point and all the support you need for your PhD. Once you’ve successfully completed the taught element of the degree, you’re ready to progress to the research phase of your PhD including your research thesis.

During your PhD, you’ll continue to receive training. You’ll develop more advanced research and publishing skills including:

  • writing

  • winning grants

  • stakeholder engagement. 


The integrated PhD offers the depth rigour and focus of a PhD, while developing your research and employability skills.
