MPhil/PhD

One advantage in studying for your MPhil/PhD at Southampton is that we are able to put together teams of supervisors and advisors from more than one discipline. See our staff research interests page to help you identify areas in which we might be able to offer supervision for your discipline-specific or cross-disciplinary project. Contact the tutor or tutors you would be interested in working with for further details. For application details, visit the postgraduate study application pages.
