We also have split MPhil/PhD possibilities for international students studying abroad. These can be done on a full-time or part-time basis where the student studies in their home country at a local university or business, and visits Sheffield Hallam University for a maximum of three months per year by arrangement. The supervisor will usually make periodic visits to see the student during study time in the student's home country.
