		The DPhil programme is a full-time programme which aims to provide a comprehensive training in research approaches and methods and to support students in carrying out their own research project.
		All DPhil students are registered first as Probationer Research Students (PRS) and progress through the milestones of ‘transfer of status’ and ‘confirmation of status’.
		Undertaking the DPhil is a demanding and costly activity and it is important that all research students are supported to ensure that they make good progress, and that their work is of the appropriate quality.

	Doctor of Philosophy: DPhil : Oxford University Graduate Studies Prospectus 2007/08
		As with the research MSc or the MLitt, it is awarded on the basis of a thesis, but is of a higher standing and candidates for admission must be able to demonstrate preliminary knowledge of research techniques, and provide evidence of outstanding ability.
		Before recommending the award of the degree, the examiners of the DPhil thesis must be satisfied that the student has presented a significant and substantial piece of research, of a kind which might reasonably be expected of a diligent and competent student after three or at most four years of full-time study.
		The thesis must be presented in a lucid and scholarly manner, and candidates must satisfy their examiners that they also possess a good general knowledge of the particular field of learning within which the subject of their thesis falls.

	Department of Statistics: Postgraduate Opportunities
		Applications (form GSO.2) to transfer to DPhil status need to be signed by the appropriate officer of the student's college, who will need to be assured on this point.
		An applicant failing to secure a Category B transfer to DPhil status would be allowed to apply subsequently to transfer under Category A: one further application in Category A is allowed, provided that the applicant made his or her first attempt well before the sixth term of the probationer period.
		Applicants whose applications to transfer to DPhil status are rejected are also allowed to apply for transfer to the status of MSc by research.

		It is possible for a student with appropriate academic background, research experience and skills to carry out high quality research towards the DPhil degree and submit a successful thesis within 3-4 years.
		On the basis of their first year research and thesis proposal theytransfer from Probationer to DPhil student status at the end of first year, after independent assessment.
		All DPhil courses are full-time and therefore candidates must acquire funding by competition for scholarships, studentships or sponsorships.

	FAQs student life
		They are transferred to DPhil status following a 'qualifying test' taken at the end of their first year as a research student (although this can be earlier for those who have successfully completed their MSc and can use their MSc dissertation as part of their qualifying test application).
		Preliminary (conditional) decisions on DPhil applicants are made during Hilary term and, therefore, if you wish to be successful, your early performance in class and in your Michaelmas term essays needs to be impressive.
		Fees are due for a maximum of nine terms, and so MSc students staying on for a DPhil in Oxford would be liable to pay fees for a further six terms (unless they submitted their DPhil prior to the end of the sixth term of theri DPhil study).

		Supervision is arranged to suit the DPhil topic and may involve staff from within the Medical School as well as co-supervision with members of the Evidence Based network.
		The part-time DPhil regulations normally require a minimum of six years' part-time study (equivalent to three years' full-time), although this may be reduced to four years' part-time (two years' full-time equivalent) if the applicant has successfully completed the MSc in Evidence Based Health Care.
		The MRC provides support for high calibre researchers who want to make a career in medical research through a comprehensive portfolio of fellowship schemes tailored for different stages of the clinical or non-clinical research career pathway.

	Degree & Diploma Progs
		To enrol for the DPhil you are normally required to hold a Masters or Bachelors degree in mathematics with First or Second Class Honours (first division).
		You will be required to follow a course of full-time advanced study and research under the direction of a supervisor, normally at the University and for at least two calendar years, and to present a thesis on an original investigation relating to some branch of mathematics.
		Although the DPhil degree does not normally involve coursework, you may be required to satisfy the examiners in up to two papers on topics determined in consultation with the Department, before you begin work on your thesis.

	Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford
		It is regarded both as a training for the DPhil and a basis for teaching a range of philosophical subjects and requires sustained and focused work over two years.
		An alternative route to the DPhil, involving initial admission as a Probationary Research Student (PRS) and later transfer to DPhil status, is available to candidates who already have a substantial background in philosophy at graduate level, equivalent to that acquired in taking the BPhil.
		A general condition for admission of any candidate to the DPhil course is that their proposed thesis constitutes a suitable project of the required length and that there is a member of the Faculty who is able to act as supervisor.

		Students are normally admitted initially to a probationary status and approved for transfer to DPhil only when the Mathematical Institute is satisfied of their ability to attempt such a contribution; this transfer involves the submission of written work and an oral examination.
		The minimum period of registration for the DPhil is six terms (including any time registered for the MSc or as a probationary research student), but in practice most students need nine terms at least.
		It is not intended as a first step towards a DPhil, but rather as an alternative to a DPhil.

	Juris Doctor a Doctor?: Law Vault Message Board (DPHIL...)
		For your information, the DPhil degree is only awarded by Oxford.
		Their LLM 'equivalent', if you may, is called the BCL, Bachelor in Civil Law - but it's not a Bachelor's degree and it's not in Civil Law.
		That's why when you see an individual with DPhil after their name (perhaps in a faculty catalogue), there is usually no indication of university, since it's supposed to be known that a DPhil is an Oxford degree.
