As a PhD student, you will undertake an equivalent student workload of 90 ECTS credits for each calendar year of full-time research or 45 credits per year of part-time research. This means that, if you are approved for a 4 year, full-time programme, you will need to complete a minimum of 270 credits for consideration for the award of a PhD. 

As part of your programme you are required to take a minimum level of 15 credits of coursework and training over the course of your PhD programme. The maximum number of module credits that you can take over is 90 credits over 4 years. 

Please check the Academic Programme Catalogue to see if there are specific requirements for the PhD programme you are registered for.
