• PhD Study in the UK
• What is a PhD?
• A PhD is a type of research degree and the
  highest award available at universities in the
  UK. Study is based around a substantial research
  project on an area of academic interest,
  typically up to 100,000 words in length, written
  as a thesis which then must be defended in an
  oral examination at the end of the programme.
  Students are assigned a supervisor and the
  duration of a PhD is typically three years
  full-time and six years part-time.
• Very few research degrees feature taught modules,
  and as such a student is expected to take more
  responsibility for their work and schedule.
• PhD Entry Requirements
• UK universities are free to admit anyone to a PhD
  programme, with admission generally conditional
  on the prospective student having successfully
  completed an undergraduate degree with at least
  upper second-class honours, as well as a masters
  degree. English language ability will need to be
  proved and a minimum IELTS score of 7.0 is
  generally required.
• PhD Research Proposal
• A research proposal (example) is required by all
  students when applying to study a PhD. The
  proposal should clearly address the research you
  wish to undertake, how you will do it, and why it
  is important. The proposal must be accepted by a
  panel of experts before your programme can
  begin.
• Other types of Research Degree
• MPhil (Master of Philosophy)
• If you wish to study a PhD, you may first need to
  begin an MPhil and then transfer to a PhD
  programme after 12-18 months. An MPhil is also a
  qualification in its own right and is generally
  thesis-only, lasting one year full-time and two
  years part-time. The thesis must present the
  results of a study and research and be a maximum
  of 60,000 words.
• Students choose to study an MPhil is the proposed
  research has insufficient scope for a full PhD.

I sincerely thank SI-UK for getting me accepted
to UCL. The MSc in Urban Development and Planning
is extremely competitive, but the right guidance
provided by SI-UK made my dream of studying at
University College London a reality. The
services were exceptional from beginning to end.
