Overview
A PhD is a doctorate of philosophy based on mostly independent study. It is assessed formally on the basis of one piece of work, a dissertation (or thesis), that reports on original thought and research. Students must also successfully complete all required training.
Although sometimes there are specific PhD research projects related to funding awards, most of Kent's research students choose their own research topics. Once students have decided on the nature of their project, it is important to contact a staff member whose expertise matches their area of interest with a CV and research proposal to discuss their proposed project and potential supervisory arrangements.
Students then work with their proposed supervisor on refining their research proposal which provides the starting point for subsequent research.
