Part-time PhD study at St Andrews advice.

Hi there,

I'm looking at various programmes but for personal reasons only want to do a PhD on a part-time basis. St Andrews and International Relations is on my radar. I know it's a great place at the undergraduate level and it excels at IR but is it really worth doing a PhD there over and above say Oxbridge or some of the big RGs?

The universities I am looking at at Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, Manchester, Cranfield, LSHTM and possibly the London Business School. I have quite a diverse educational background hence why I named those universities.

Ideally if anyone else here studies or studied for the IR PhD and if on a part time basis, be great to hear from you. Thanks.
