Master of Philosophy - Built Environment
The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is a research degree that includes a coursework component designed to help you develop research techniques appropriate to your area of study.
The MPhil has the flexibility to be undertaken as a written thesis or as a research by design thesis, (with a proportionally reduced written component.)
