The DPhil in Politics is a full-time, three-year course of doctoral study which is intended for students who would like to undertake detailed research in preparation for an academic career in political science or political theory. Admitted students will conduct their own research under the guidance of a University supervisor. Students are required to have a good general knowledge, to master's level, of the field within which their research falls and of the methods appropriate to the study of this field. Candidates for the DPhil are normally admitted with Probationer Research Student (PRS) status. As a PRS, students will develop their research proposal and skills, and produce a draft section or sections of the thesis, in order to apply for the Transfer of Status that will end their probationary period as a research student.
