International students can only register for a full-time
PhD. However, we have a range of opportunities to
study part of your PhD in other countries where we
have made arrangements with local universities.
Most research degrees require a good first degree
(usually at least a 2.1) or equivalent qualification.

Professional development
opportunities

Keele offers a wide range of short courses and
master’s programmes for professional development.
International students from outside the European
Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)
are not eligible to study part-time in the UK. To find
out more about our professional development visit

Research registration
and timescales

You can start your PhD or MPhil programme at any
time of the year (though most start in September/
October). You can register either full-time or
part-time (international postgraduate research
students can only register on a full-time basis).
You can find out more about these options at:
www.keele.ac.uk/postgraduate
and www.keele.ac.uk/pgresearch

Courses A-Z

These are degrees by research alone, with a high
level of research training to develop generic skills as
a professional researcher. You will produce a thesis,
which at PhD level is a work of original scholarship
worthy of publication in a learned journal. You work
closely with a supervisor who provides guidance
and support. Most of our research degrees can be
undertaken by full-time or part-time study. Standard
PhDs are three years in duration (six years part-time).
