With a research degree from Middlesex University, you'll get an unprecedented opportunity to explore the field of tourism and hospitality management – and making a lasting contribution to existing knowledge and research.


In essence, the difference between an MPhil and a PhD relates to the contribution you make to existing knowledge on the research topic that you've selected:


  • A PhD contributes new knowledge beyond what's currently available
  • An MPhil contributes new understanding of existing knowledge, by way of a critical review or evaluation


A Director of Studies and at least one (second) supervisor from the University will conduct your research supervision. Often, an external supervisor is also involved.


Your supervisors will act as personal tutors, helping you to clarify your initial objectives, structure your research and develop supplementary skills. They also advise on subject reading, relevant taught courses, research seminars and workshops.


Academic support and guidance is constantly available, whether you work individually or as part of a team. There are regular research tutorials, plus seminars and meetings with research students, staff and guest speakers.


Collaborations with external partners

If you're working in partnership with an external organisation, you may be jointly supervised by academics from Middlesex University and the collaborating partner.


Where collaboration is involved, you should ensure that from the outset the responsibilities for provision of fees, equipment and any other resources are fully understood and accepted by the partners.
