The DPhil Criminology is offered as either a full-time 3-4 year degree, or a part-time 6-8 year degree. The DPhil involves researching and writing a thesis of between 75,000 and 100,000 words under the guidance of at least one supervisor who will be an acknowledged authority on their chosen topic. Initially students will be admitted in the first instance to Probationer Research Student (PRS) status and will follow courses of instruction in criminological research methods to develop their skills whilst working under the guidance of at least one supervisor who will be an acknowledged authority on their chosen topic. In the third term (sixth term for the part-time pathway), students will normally apply for transfer from PRS status to full DPhil status by submitting a research outline and a substantial piece of written work. These are assessed by two members of the Centre for Criminology, who will involve an interview regarding student’s work. A similar exercise then takes place in the sixth term (twelfth term for the part-time pathway) when they will apply for Confirmation of DPhil status.
