FLEXIBLE study options.
We aim to remove the barriers that stand in the way of you achieving your ambitions. So you can study your way, with the support of those who are truly invested in your success.
Whether you’ re a recent graduate or have already started your career, our research degrees give you the flexibility to combine your research studies with your other commitments. We offer part-time and distance learning options, work-based research degrees, split-site PhDs and other opportunities for flexible delivery.
Part time
Choosing a part-time programme allows you to study at your own pace. It also helps spread the cost of tuition fees over an extended period.
‘ The University of Portsmouth is a very supportive environment for people from all backgrounds, not just the more traditional academic route or for those doing their PhD full time. The evening support sessions have really helped me feel part of the research culture despite mostly working remotely.’
Sarah Groszewski PhD in Law
