About History of Western Architecture, PhD - at University of Buckingham

Students are registered initially for the degree of PhD (Doctor of Philosophy), although their status is probationary until the first Annual Review has taken place, normally between 12 and 18 months from first registration.

The usual period of doctoral study is three years, though the University's Regulations also permit candidates who make particularly rapid progress to apply to the University Research Committee for permission to submit at the end of their second year of study.

Part-time applications will be considered and may be accepted where teaching provision is available.

Each student is allocated, two supervisors. There is a First (or Principal) Supervisor, who is the student's regular guide during his or her research, and with whom the student meets regularly throughout the year. There is also a Second Supervisor, whom the student may consult on a more limited basis where a 'second opinion' on a particular draft chapter may be helpful.

Potential supervisors include Clive Aslet, Mark Wilson Jones, Jeremy Musson, Professor John Simpson, Adrian Tinniswood OBE, and other scholars.
