All students on the doctoral programme are initially registered for an MPhil. At the beginning of the program, students will work with their supervisors to assess their individual training needs. Students will use this to develop a personalized training schedule that draws on foundational and advanced courses made available to them through the King’s Centre for Doctoral Studies, the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS-DTP) and the Bloomsbury Postgraduate Skills Network. These courses will hone their academic skills and prepare students for the demands of their specific research project.
