Applying for PhD/MD by publication

The 'by publication' route is offered only to University of Sheffield staff, as an alternative to the standard PhD or MD route. It is designed to enable recognition of the research activities of those members of staff who have published work but have not completed a PhD or MD.

Prospective applicants should first ensure that they refer to the appropriate University regulations for PhD or MD by publication. More information can be found here. Any application will need to be discussed with your School Director of PGR to ensure the regulations are met and that you have the appropriate support in place to complete your degree in the timeframe.
