Upgrade from MPhil to PhD

This guidance explains the how to upgrade from an MPhil degree to a PhD.

Under UCL regulations full-time research students are required to register for an MPhil degree for not less than 9 months after initial registration, and must then fulfil academic requirements to upgrade to PhD degree. 

Part-time research degree students are required to register for an MPhil degree for a minimum of 15 months after initial registration and must then fulfil academic requirements to upgrade to PhD degree.

Completing the upgrade does not mean you have been awarded the MPhil, this is a separate process.

Read the regulations for the upgrade process


 

Your departmental graduate tutor or administrator must complete and return the upgrade form and submit it to the research degree section.
