Criminology - PhD

Oxford Brookes University

We have a lively and supportive research culture with a number of specialist research groups led by internationally recognised academics. As a research student, you will be encouraged to become involved in Criminology’s research activities and will have the opportunity to work alongside Oxford Brookes academics who are at the forefront of a wide range of internationally recognised and world-leading research and projects. The alternative route toward obtaining a PhD is known as a PhD Direct in which the student registers directly to study for a PhD. Accordingly, the student does not need to undergo a formal transfer assessment and the minimum period of study is shorter compared to the MPhil/PhD route.
