What is a research degree?
A research degree is an advanced academic programme focused on original research, critical analysis, and the development of new knowledge in a specific field of study.
Unlike taught degrees, which primarily involve attending lectures and completing coursework, research degrees emphasise independent study and the creation of a substantial piece of original research, such as a thesis or dissertation.
