Studying for a doctoral degree with IDD means being part of an active research and practitioner community that will support you in accomplishing your academic goals.

The Phd with Integrated Study has been developed to provide a new route to the internationally respected British PhD degree by incorporating subject knowledge, research training and the development of transferable skills  While the traditional PhD programme requires students to engage entirely in research training, culminating in the production of a thesis, the PhD with Integrated Study enables students to gain added value from taught, subject based modules.  The taught moduels allow students to broaden, as well as deepen, their subject knowledge at the same time as undertaking their own research and developing transferable professional skills in preparation for careers as professional educators, researchers or senior positions in public and private sector organisations.

The programme last for 4 years and consists of taught modules and a thesis.  Taught modules include core skills and subject specific modules and the thesis is 80,000 words.

Research activity begins in year 1 and continues alongside taught modules in years 2 and possibly 3.  In year 4, students focus entirely on their research, culminating in production of a thesis.
