Universities admit applicants to PhD programs on a case-by-case basis; depending on the university, admission is typically conditional on the prospective student having completed an undergraduate degree with at least upper second-class honours or a postgraduate master's degree but requirements can vary. In the case of the University of Oxford, for example, "The one essential condition of being accepted … is evidence of previous academic excellence, and of future potential." Some UK universities (e.g. Oxford) abbreviate their Doctor of Philosophy degree as "DPhil", while most use the abbreviation "PhD"; but these are stylistic conventions, and the degrees are in all other respects equivalent.

McGill University graduates wearing doctoral robes A group of new PhD graduates with their professors A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD, Ph.D., or DPhil; Latin or doctor philosophiae) is the highest university degree that is conferred after a course of study by universities in most countries. PhDs are awarded for programs across the whole breadth of academic fields. Because it is an earned research degree, those studying for a PhD are usually required to produce original research that expands the boundaries of knowledge, normally in the form of a thesis or dissertation, and defend their work against experts in the field. The completion of a PhD is often a requirement for employment as a university professor, researcher, or scientist in many fields.

Within the English University system MLitt degrees are not offered in all institutions, nor in all disciplines. An M.Litt may be awarded as an alternative to the Master of Philosophy research degree and is usually placed higher in the hierarchy; starting with degrees such as the postgraduate Master of Arts (MA) and Master of Science (MSc), then Master of Philosophy, and finally Master of Letters. Note that this varies from the position in Scotland. Students attending English Universities may apply for an MLitt in the first instance; for others who have completed two years of a Doctorate (such as a PhD or DPhil) and who do not wish to, or cannot, continue with the final year(s), there is the option to write up their completed research so far and graduate with an MLitt degree.

LKI's governing legislation provides that it will be dedicated to the study of Sri Lanka’s international relations and strategic interests in defence, national security, law, economics, cultural relations, agriculture, and the environment. There are two programmes to capture these themes: the Global Governance and Global Economy programmes respectively. The Global Economy programme, chaired by Dr. Ganeshan Wignaraja (DPhil Oxford), reflects the shifting emphasis in international relations – in Sri Lanka and elsewhere – to economic diplomacy. This programme seeks to analyse Sri Lanka’s trade, foreign investment, and tourism, including the potential to reposition Sri Lanka as an economic hub in the Indian Ocean region.

She showed that the presence of dung beetles can speed up rates of dung decomposition in pastures where cattle graze. Her work showed that the value of British dung beetles is £367 million because of the work they do breaking down cattle dung and fertilising soil, she also calculated that if cattle anti worming medicines such as ivermectin were not used then the value would increase by £6.2m Beynon was an entomological consultant on the Beetle Boy trilogy of children's fiction books by M G Leonard and has appeared at the Hay festival with the author.

From the starting point of object-led work undertaken with individual members of faculty, the UEP seeks to embed interdisciplinary, Museum-based teaching in the curricula of the University. Whereas the Ashmolean has a long and continuing tradition of teaching by its Curators, this cross-disciplinary approach has resulted in a significant increase in the number of students and faculty visiting and using the Museum. In the course of its first full year of operation, 2012–13, the members of the UEP taught almost 1200 students in 21 departments of the University, at every level from first year undergraduate to DPhil and in every mode from individual tutorials to seminars and lectures. By the end of Trinity (Summer) term 2013, the UEP had undertaken teaching with faculty colleagues from three of the four major divisions of the University: Humanities, Medical Sciences and Social Sciences, engaging with the departments of Buddhist Studies, Classics, English Language and Literature, Hindi Language, Hindu Studies, History, History of Art, Italian, Sanskrit, Theology and Religion, Neuroscience, Cardiovascular Medicine, Psychiatry, Experimental Psychology, Anthropology, Archaeology, Education, Geography and the Environment, International Development, the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art and the Saïd Business School.
