Course summary
Why study this course?
A Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is conducted purely by research. Each MPhil is the unique development of your individual research project, conducted under the guidance of at least two supervisory members of staff with expertise in the research area.
An MPhil can be pursued in any area of research within the university, where suitable expertise is available to support the proposed research. Cross-disciplinary projects are welcome. Here at London Met, we provide a supportive framework for research where your work is carefully overseen and your progress is monitored. It's also possible to study an MPhil via distance learning with us.

Undertaking an MPhil requires an excellent overview of existing research in your field and analytical skills in assessing research claims. You'll also need the ability and stamina of working independently and be in a position to afford the time investment pursuing an MPhil represents.

Your progress will be closely supported by your supervisors and monitored by your School. You'll be encouraged to attend conferences, write papers and publish while pursuing your research.
