The English Language and Applied Linguistics (Distance Learning) programme from University of Birmingham have combined their subject expertise with their experience in supervising distance learning research to offer our flexible PhD programmes. There are two distance learning PhD programmes in English Language and Applied Linguistics: a standard programme and a modular programme.
The standard English Language and Applied Linguistics (Distance Learning) programme from University of Birmingham requires a traditional 80,000-word thesis. The work is examined at the end of the programme, as with other PhD programmes. Students identify and refine a thesis topic and research design in consultation with their supervisor and send drafts of the various chapters for comment as they work through the programme. As with all PhDs, progress is monitored throughout the registration period.The modular programme requires three modules: two shorter research papers (Module 1 - 12,000 words, Module 2 - 20,000 words) and a final thesis of 50,000 words (Module 3). The work is examined in three phases, at the end of each module. The final product (in terms of total quantity and quality of work) is therefore similar to the standard PhD; however the modular option provides an incremental, continuously assessed route allowing students to progress through explicitly marked stages to a PhD. Students identify a topic they wish to work on and to which all their written work should be related; the nature of the assessment means however that the topic may not be as tightly focused as that in a traditional PhD.Your degree will provide excellent preparation for your future career, but this can also be enhanced by a range of employability support services offered by the University and the College of Arts and Law.The University's Careers Network provides expert guidance and activities especially for postgraduates, which will help you achieve your career goals.
