PhD by Publication

There are various ways of achieving a PhD, depending on your research experience and / or publication history to date.

One of the routes we offer at the University of South Wales is a PhD by Publication. 

You will submit for examination and defend an approved body of published work, together with a critical overview.

The approved body of published work will normally be equivalent to six peer reviewed journal articles, and may include book chapters and monographs. The number of book chapters or monographs deemed equivalent to six journal articles will be formed on a subject basis.

Examples of materials acceptable for Publication submission include:

• Peer reviewed journal papers
• Monographs
• Books
• Book chapters
• Conference proceedings
