  • Integrated Masters with PhD – Explained
  • Types of Doctorates

An Integrated Masters with a PhD (iPhD) is a four-year postgraduate level programme that combines a one-year Masters course with a three-year PhD course. They allow students to familiarise themselves with their chosen topic, research methods and academic writing techniques before embarking on their own independent research project. An Integrated Masters with a PhD is particularly popular with international students and students who initially lack specialised knowledge or research skills.

Introduction

An Integrated Masters with PhD, also commonly referred to as either just an Integrated Masters degree or an Integrated PhD, offers a relatively new way to undertake postgraduate training. They maintain the depth and focus of a conventional PhD but offer a more comprehensive doctoral training experience.

Due to their growing popularity, both the number of universities offering these newer forms of PhD and the number of students applying to them has steadily increased.

This page describes what Integrated Masters with PhDs are, who they are for, their advantages and disadvantages, how they differ from conventional PhDs and how they are structured in terms of programme, eligibility and costs. This page is for you if you are considering applying for an integrated course, or simply want to know more about them.

What is an Integrated PhD?

An Integrated PhD is a four-year postgraduate programme. They involve undertaking a one-year Masters degree (MRes or MSc) in your first year, followed by a three-year PhD programme in your second to fourth year. Although the courses run back-to-back, a student can only progress to the second year if they show satisfactory performance in their first year. The one-year Masters and the three-year PhD are considered separately in terms of qualifications; therefore, a student who completes an Integrated PhD will receive both a Masters degree (MRes or MSc) and a PhD as opposed to a single postgraduate qualification.

The aim of an Integrated PhD is to provide a structured approach to doctoral studies, combining advanced PhD research with formal teaching in relevant subjects, research methods and communication skills.

As Integrated PhDs are relatively new compared to more regular doctoral pathways such as stand-alone or MPhil-upgraded PhDs, some professors informally refer to them as ‘New Route PhDs’.

Difference Between Integrated PhD and Regular PhD

The most significant difference between an Integrated PhD and a regular PhD is the addition of the one-year Masters degree at the beginning of the programme. This results in an Integrated PhD typically lasting four years, as opposed to the three years as with regular PhDs.

Integrated PhDs are structured in such a way that they provide students with a broader range of foundational skills than a regular PhD. The first year introduces you to a combination of taught elements, practical experience and advanced research skills. In a regular PhD this mode of teaching is missing as it is assumed you already have this level of knowledge.

The last significant difference between the two types of doctoral programmes is the ‘group’ aspect associated with the Integrated version. Since the Masters programme also includes other students enrolled in Integrated PhDs, you will have a small cohort with whom you will work closely alongside during your studies.

Who are Integrated PhDs suitable for?

Integrated PhDs can be an effective pathway for any student, but they stand out in two situations:

Scenario 1: International Students

The Higher Education system differs across countries , although not by a large amount, enough to where an unfamiliar student may struggle, especially when working independently. An Integrated PhD allows you to adapt to the UK education system by offering a more guided and hands-on approach to your learning and research process before you embark on your three-year research project.

It also has visa benefits. If an international student seeking a Masters degree in the UK already knows they want to follow it up with a PhD, enrolling in an Integrated PhD will save them from having to leave the country and re-apply for a visa after completing their initial postgraduate degree.

Scenario 2: Lack of undergraduate research experience or a relevant Masters degree

An Integrated PhD is useful for students who have academic abilities but lack the necessary background to be considered for a standard-route PhD. This usually occurs under one of three scenarios:

  • The applicant is currently an undergraduate student or only holds a Bachelor’s degree,
  • The student has a Masters degree, but in a subject only loosely related to the discipline they wish to pursue at doctoral level,
  • The student has a relevant Masters degree, but the programme lacked a research focus, leaving the student with underdeveloped research skills.

Advantages and Disadvantages of an Integrated PhD

The advantages of an Integrated PhD are strongly linked to the international and inexperienced students they cater for. They offer students an effective means of gaining more confidence, knowledge and research skills in their field before starting a doctorate, and also provide visa benefits to international students who will be undertaking prior postgraduate study.

Integrated PhDs also enable students the possibility of receiving funding for the Masters phase of their programme, as will be explained in more detail in the ‘Funding Opportunities’ section.

Integrated doctorates have no obvious disadvantages, but are generally not suitable for those who already have a Masters degree or well-developed research skills in their chosen field. For these students, the additional costs and duration of an Integrated PhD can be avoided by opting for a traditional PhD for which they will already be suited for.

Finding a PhD has never been this easy – search for a PhD by keyword, location or academic area of interest.

The programme of study is naturally divided into two parts, the first for your Masters studies and the second for your PhD studies.

Your Masters studies will usually be divided into 180 module credits, half of which will focus on taught components and the other half on research components.

The modules will be tailored to your course, but they will include a variation of:

Taught modules:

  • Subject-specific module – You choose one or two modules from a predefined list of topics within your subject area. Your selection should reflect the research area you want your PhD to focus on.
  • English and Communication – Academic language and communication skills will be taught to prepare you for the ‘writing-up’ phase of your doctorate. A common misconception is that this module is similar to the English language requirement tests required to apply to a iPhD. In reality, the module will focus on learning how to critically evaluate research sources, write abstracts, literature reviews and conclusions, communicate in lab-based environments and present to audiences.
  • Research Techniques  – You’ll receive in-depth training to familiarise you with the different research methods and analytical techniques available to modern researchers.
  • Research Proposal Development  – You’ll work with your intended PhD supervisor to prepare a research proposal for your three-year PhD research project.

Research Modules:

You will carry out one or two small laboratory research projects under supervision for practical experience.

Integrated PhD in UK - Lectures and Lab Work

If you complete these modules with satisfactory performance, you will be awarded a Masters degree and will be considered for the following three-year PhD programme.

Each university has its own process for making this consideration, but most invite you to an interview with the supervisor you wish to conduct research with. The interview is used to confirm that you have acquired the specialised knowledge and research skills expected at masters level, and beyond that of someone capable of completing doctoral study.

If your interview goes well, you will be enrolled in your PhD programme. From this point on, your path will be the same as a regular PhD student. During your doctoral phase, you will conduct independent research and laboratory work for two years, followed by a final year of writing up and formally submitting your findings as a thesis. Your thesis, expertise and research competence will be assessed in an oral examination known as a viva. Upon successful completion of your viva, you will be officially awarded a PhD, and your studies will come to an end.

It should be noted that aside from the above, your university may offer optional modules which can equip you with a wide range of transferable skills.

Eligibility

Entry requirements for an integrated masters degree in the UK will vary from university to university, but the typical requirement is an Upper Second Class (2:1) honours Bachelor’s degree in a relevant subject. Equivalent international qualifications are also accepted.

If you are an international student and English is your second language, most universities will require proof of your English language proficiency through an exam certificate. It’s best to check directly with the universities which certificate types they accept, but the most common English language qualification requirement is an IELTS certificate, with a minimum overall score of 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in each category.

The typical annual tuition fee for an Integrated PhD in the UK is £4,712 per academic year for home/EU students (or £2,356 for part-time study) and £19,596 per academic year for international students (or £9,798 for part-time study).

As with all doctoral programmes, there are likely to be additional costs associated with your studies, such as bench fees for lab work, travel costs for collaborating and potential write-up fees for students who need more time to submit their thesis. You can get more information about these additional costs on our cost breakdown page .

Funding Opportunities

You can obtain funding for Integrated PhDs in the same way as for regular PhDs. Funding is usually provided by one of the seven UK Research Councils  and research charity organisations such as the  Wellcome Trust ; grants, scholarships and funded opportunities can be found directly in our searchable database .

Funding can either be partial (tuition fees only) or full (tuition fees and living costs). Most funding providers also cover the tuition fee for the Masters degree programme due to being integrated with the PhD, however, you should confirm this on a case-by-case basis.

As with regular PhD funding, the fully-funded opportunities are generally limited to home and EU students.

It’s also worth noting that PhD programmes which include an integrated Masters degree are eligible for a Doctoral Loan , even if you already have a postgraduate Masters degree from a previous university. Applications for Doctoral Loans must be made directly to Student Finance England and you must first be registered for a full doctoral degree. Due to application restrictions, you won’t be able to apply for a separate Postgraduate Masters Loan for the integrated Masters phase of your degree.

Your master’s program will be inclined towards providing subject knowledge and accumulation of research skills important for your doctorate. In fact, the master you study may actually be called a Master of Research (MRes) rather than a taught MSc or MA.

How is Integrated PhD Graded? 

While the master’s portion is graded as a standalone qualification, the latter part is assessed on your thesis and performance in the viva voce. 

Why Should You Study Integrated PhD?

For students looking forward to working in a field that would require a blend of qualifications and specific research training, an integrated doctorate course can be a great way to prepare for this. The extended degree program is designed to offer the skills and competencies you need. Students will gradually acquire logical ways to smoothly transcend from master’s to doctoral research. 

Are you wondering what type of doctoral degree is right for you? Choosing between similar courses is a difficult task, but if you have the key differences in front of you, it becomes easier to make a concise decision. In order to pursue a regular PhD, scholars are required to have a master’s degree as the minimum qualification, whereas an Integrated PhD can be started just after completing your graduation. While a regular PhD can be done in any subject you want and is time-consuming, an integrated program takes fewer years to finish and also offers you the flexibility to select your field of interest. 

An integrated PhD is an excellent choice for anyone who believes they might benefit from more formal research training before pursuing an independent PhD topic. People who apply for Integrated PhDs, on the other hand, tend to fall into one of two categories:

  • Bachelor’s degree holders who do not have a Master’s degree
  • International students who want to familiarise themselves with the higher education system in their host country before pursuing a PhD.

Entry Requirements

  • A 2:1 undergraduate degree in a related topic is normally required for admission to an integrated PhD.
  • International students may additionally be required to achieve English language proficiency criteria.
  • Most courses will accept an IELTS score of 6.0 overall, with a minimum of 5.5 in each section.
  • Check the programme description of your chosen PhD programme for detailed entry criteria.

Typically, applications are submitted using an online gateway on your university’s website. The specific documents necessary may vary, but in general, you will need to provide a combination of the following:

  • Personal statement
  • Cover letter
  • Academic CV
  • Research proposal (if applicable)

Application Process

Depending on the nature of the curriculum, there are a few alternative ways to apply for an Integrated PhD.

Some integrated PhDs will require you to select a research subject before applying (much like a normal PhD). Once you’ve identified a university that offers an integrated option for the subject you want to study, you’ll need to determine whether you want to propose your own research topic or apply for a PhD that has already been designed for you. In either case, reach out to potential supervisors before submitting your application.

The supervisor will be indicated in the advertisement if you are applying for a pre-designed PhD. If you created your own project, you’ll need to identify a professor whose expertise matches your research interests. In both circumstances, inform your potential supervisor that you will be applying for an integrated programme. This can help them assess if they are a good fit for the project.

Some integrated PhD programmes do not require students to choose a research subject before beginning their study. Instead, in your first year, you will engage in numerous minor research projects alongside potential supervisors, allowing you to make an educated decision on your eventual PhD topic. During your first year, you will typically develop your research proposal. This is very prevalent in STEM disciplines.

You will not need to contact prospective supervisors before applying for these projects. However, when completing your application, it is still a good idea to consider areas of research that interest you.

Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) finance many integrated PhD curricula. These are consortiums formed by groups of research entities (often universities and industry partners) that provide training for PhD cohorts and provide fully supported studentships. If you want to apply for an integrated CDT PhD (also known as a 1+3 programme), you can do so through your host university or through the CDT itself.

Individual projects are normally offered under each CDT programme, so you’ll need to mention which one you’re interested in when you apply. You may be prompted to mention a preference in your application yet may be matched with a different project.

Major Universities

This PhD program is a new model of doctoral training which retains the rigour, depth and focus of a conventional PhD while also extending a broader training experience. Let us briefly look at some of the most renowned institutions in the world offering excellent integrated doctoral courses:

Established in 1907, this public research university is a one-of-a-kind in the UK, focusing extensively on Science, Medicine , Engineering and Business. Imperial College London aims to offer the next generation of PhD scholars the ability to get ahead of the curve. It provides three different Wellcome Trust Integrated PhD programs: MRes and PhD in Epidemiology, Evolution and Control of Infectious Diseases; MRes and PhD in Molecular and Cellular Basis of Infection and MRes and PhD in Theoretical Systems Biology and Bioinformatics. The program typically comprises a 1-year master’s degree followed by a 3-year PhD.

Also, the funding for Centres of Doctoral Training (CDT) and Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) is provided by the Research Councils. Students recruited to these centres come from a broad spectrum of disciplines and have access to the facilities and supervisors at the partner institutions. 

To explore the centres that interest you, reach out to our counsellors at Leverage Edu and know more about the different training programmes and available studentships.

It is quite interesting to know that the new graduates from the University of Copenhagen have established a unique record of setting up 290 businesses in a year on average. But what makes this oldest university of Denmark established in 1479 so popular? Not only prominent in the field of Humanities and Social Sciences, the institute also offers excellent research facilities to students pursuing a career in Science and Medical Sciences. Its Integrated MSc and PhD programme scheme lasting for a duration of 3+5 years gives the option to combine the MSc optional programs with the writing of the PhD dissertation. The scheme is divided into the following two parts:

  • Part A – The students are required to complete the MSc program within two years before concluding the entire Integrated PhD program. 
  • Part B – The PhD program begins only when students have completed their part A, fulfilling the required eligibility criteria of the course.

Transformative and multidisciplinary research at NUS has been consistently nurturing effective global leaders, impacting society and transforming lives for the better. The National University of Singapore was founded in 1905 and is known to be the first autonomous research in the country. The NUS PhD/MEng program allows students to chase ideas, seek new experiences and turn their ideas into reality. In a vibrant research-intensive environment, MEng students with PhD calibre can subsequently upgrade their course to the doctoral program after a year of study. 

The Loyola University Chicago – Stritch School of Medicine offers an MD/PhD program incorporating medical and graduate education with high-impact scientific research. Since 1870, the university has strived to create integrated educational programs that are designed to be individualized and tailored to meet the professional goals of every student. The individuals demonstrating a strong interest in research can definitely opt for an Integrated PhD which aims to cover both degrees in 7 to 8 years of duration.

Graduates interested to delve deeper into the field of social work can consider Boston College for a combined MSW and PhD in Social Work . The college allows talented students to embark on their PhD coursework before completing a degree in the Master of Social Work . One of the greatest advantages of pursuing an Integrated PhD can be the elimination of redundancy between a master’s degree and doctoral program – saving approximately one year compared to the traditional PhD. At this private institution founded in 1863, international students get to acquire the fundamental American social welfare system and social work practices.

msc with integrated phd

This Integrated MSc-PhD. program is open for students with Bachelor’s degree , highly meritorious, and motivated towards fundamental research in Natural Sciences such as physics, chemistry, earth and planetary sciences, evolutionary and developmental biology. However, for the current academic year, only Physics discipline is available, with a choice of specialization in (i) Astrophysics, (ii) Nuclear Physics. A student in this program would complete the courses mandatory for a Ph.D., along with the courses essential for an MSc., during the first two semesters, and also acquire ample research experience by working on a research project, during the 3 rd and the 4 th semesters. On successful completion of four semesters, the student can opt to exit with an Msc (by Research) degree in Physics, or can opt to continue for PhD.  Ph.D. level work begins at the 5 th semester. Such a student would be more equipped, than a regular MSc student, while beginning to do Ph.D. level work. 

The focus would be to bring out the research skills of a motivated Bachelor student. Added courses and projects, at Master’s and Ph.D. levels, would aim at building the student’s strength in the concept, and in the experimental, analytical, modeling and computational skills, towards understanding a complex natural phenomenon, even while pursuing studies for the Ph.D. degree, on a frontier problem in the chosen discipline.

Career Prospects:

Since the emphasis is on high quality research work, a student obtaining Ph.D. degree under this program would have acquired remarkable skills in research, from approach to the problem to its solution, and hence would have a competitive edge while seeking an academic position or employment as a professional researcher in a reputed institution in India or abroad.

5 Years ( Including M.Sc.)

Option to exit after 4th semester with M. Sc. by research degree.

The Integrated  MSc and  PhD programme (3+5)

The Integrated MSc and PhD programme makes it possible to integrate the MSc programmes’ optional programme elements and the writing of the PhD dissertation. This allows students and their supervisors more time for the research element of the PhD programme.

The former 4+4 PhD is now a part of the Integrated PhD Scheme (3+5).

Admission requirements

The Integrated PhD programme is open to applicants who:

  • have completed the Bachelors degree with a good result.
  • are enrolled on an MSc programme offered by SCIENCE  or  have been offered admission to an MSc programme offered by SCIENCE
  • can coordinate and integrate the remaining ECTS of their MSc programme with the proposed PhD programme.
  • is qualified to be admitted to the PhD programme
  • have not  started writing the MSc thesis.

The academic content of the MSc programme must be related to the proposed PhD programme.  Read more requirements in the programme description below. 

Organisation of the Integrated MSc/PhD programme

The prescribed period of study for the integrated programme is five full-time equivalents (FTEs) (two for the MSc programme and three for the PhD programme). If, at commencement of the integrated 3+5 scheme, the student has passed one or more programme elements, the period of study is reduced correspondingly.

The 3+5 scheme is divided into two parts:

Part A: The student completes the MSc programme and concurrently completes one third of the PhD programme (one FTE). Part A is completed when the student completes the MSc programme and must be organized in such a way that the MSc programme is completed two years before completion of the entire integrated programme of study.

Part B : The student is a PhD student exclusively and completes the PhD programme in accordance with the approved PhD plan. Part B can be commenced once the student has completed the MSc programme (part A), and the regular assessments have been satisfactory, meaning that the student has lived up to the requirements in the PhD plan.

Special Seminar

Shabir Barzanjeh, University of Calgary Location: AQ 3003

Utilizing nonlinearity as a quantum resource not only enables the creation of entanglement, a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics, but also plays a vital role in advancing quantum computing capabilities. In this presentation, I will explain recent advancements made by our team in harnessing nonlinear processes to generate entanglement and squeezing. The discussion includes the utilization of integrated optical and microwave circuits to develop robust nonclassical sources as well as for microwave-to-optical transduction. The first part of the talk is devoted to the use of nanomechanical resonators for photon conversion and transduction, while the second part explores the application of superconducting kinetic inductance thin films for signal amplification and squeezing in the microwave domain.
