    Research degrees are based on critically investigating and evaluating approved topics and presenting and defending a substantial thesis (written paper).

    Research degree awards can either be a Master of Philosophy (MPhil), usually requiring two years of full-time study, or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), usually requiring three years of study.

    Having an international degree shows your ability to work with people from other cultures, to travel, and that you have discipline. As more and more companies become international, it is something that shows you have what it takes to work on a global level.
