One Year Taught M.Phil.
The M.Phil../Diploma programme is known for the excellence of its teaching and the quality of its students' research. External Examiners' reports testify to its academic merit, noting, for example, the ‘very special distinctiveness' of the course ‘which does great credit to the University as a whole' (Professor Lynne Segal, Birkbeck University of London, 1998 External Evaluation).
"The M.Phil. year was one of the best years of my life" - Cathy Cregan, M.Phil. Student, 2001-2002
