A PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is the most common type of doctoral degree and requires students to complete a thesis on a substantial piece of research that is judged by a team of examiners. As one of the highest awarded degrees at a UK university, you will need all the help necessary to submit a successful application.
The PhD Application Service can help you successfully be accepted on to a PhD programme in the UK by advising you on your choice of university, providing intensive interview practice and editing your personal statement and research proposal into what an admissions panel want to read.
