PhD
About our PhD Research
The IPT works closely with the Centre for Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies (CPCS) at Bangor University, Wales.
PhD Supervisors
Potential PhD supervisors at IPT are Dr Martin Clay, Revd Dr Simo Frestadius, Dr David Johnson, and Revd Dr Caleb Nyanni. If you would like to study for a PhD with one of these IPT Fellows, please contact them directly (their email addresses and research interests are on their profiles).
Admissions
Admission to the PhD course of study at Bangor University is dependent on a relevant masters degree (usually with a merit or distinction) and an acceptable thesis proposal. As the proposal is of such strategic importance for admission, those seeking admission to the PhD are encouraged to be in contact with a potential PhD supervisor, in the first instance, to determine whether a member of staff has interest in supervising the thesis topic. Bangor University has a rolling admissions policy so a PhD applicant may normally be able to begin their research at several points during the year after acceptance of the formal offer of a place to study.
Expectations
In line with the British academic tradition, PhD students will research, write, and defend a PhD thesis between 80,000-100,000 words in length. They will have regular meetings (online or in-person) with their supervisor and will participate in the broader research culture of IPT/CPCS by attending research seminars. Full-time students complete their PhD typically over three years and part-time students over six years.
