About the course

With a research degree from Middlesex University, you'll get an unprecedented opportunity to explore the field of tourism and hospitality management – and making a lasting contribution to existing knowledge and research. In essence, the difference between an MPhil and a PhD relates to the contribution you make to existing knowledge on the research topic that you've selected:

　　A PhD contributes new knowledge beyond what's currently available

　　An MPhil contributes new understanding of existing knowledge, by way of a critical review or evaluation

　　A Director of Studies and at least one (second) supervisor from the University will conduct your research supervision. Often, an external supervisor is also involved.
