Both the degrees are research based and can be opted after the master’s degree has been completed. In some university PhD can be pursued after bachelor’s degree with excellent academic record. The students have to submit research paper work in both the courses of MPh and PhD in order to appear. The study structure is almost same in both MPh and PhD course but still there are some difference between the both.
Generally MPh degree is of two years course but in some cases it can be of three years as well. The MPh degree is mostly a thesis based course and known as a Senior OR Second Master’s Degree between a PhD and a taught Master’s Degree. A student can get an MPh degree after few years’ original research but before the giving dissertation. This degree may work a pre-requisite for enrolling a PhD degree as well.
