The DPhil in Social Data Science is an advanced research degree which provides the opportunity to investigate and address novel research questions at the intersection of the computational and social sciences, supported by the multidisciplinary faculty at the OII, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, and other departments across the University of Oxford. The DPhil, normally taking three to four years of full-time study to complete, is known as a PhD at other universities.
The DPhil in Social Data Science at the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) will introduce you to cutting-edge research whilst studying in a beautiful, historic setting that is both student- and family-friendly. During your study at Oxford, you are encouraged to pioneer new approaches to contemporary social and policy issues online, developing new computational and data-driven methodology to inform the development and governance of technology. As a student, you will be part of a diverse cohort of research students, of many nationalities and from a wide range of scientific backgrounds. Research students in Social Data Science are graduates in subjects from computer science and mathematics to physics, as well as transdisciplinary subjects such as human-centred data science and complex systems.
The course combines individual supervision with a selection of lectures, seminars, transferrable skills training, and opportunities to participate in leading-edge research activities. OII faculty are world class experts working in the cutting-edge of their fields, and this innovative research is fully reflected in their course teaching. You will be able to audit courses led by faculty at the OII, as well as courses in other departments.
The programme provides a strong computational foundation, training you to develop new research skills in areas such as machine learning, statistical modelling, large-scale data collection, algorithm auditing, or network science. The DPhil in Social Data Science provides you with a rare grounding in both technical skills and social science research , helping you build critical skills to study digital technologies. There are weekly opportunities for you to interact with DPhil in Information, Communication and the Social Sciences students, providing a rich multidisciplinary environment.
As a full-time student, you are expected to continue working outside of the University terms with an annual holiday of approximately eight weeks.
The DPhil programme at the OII is also available on a part-time basis. The part-time programme is spread over six to eight years of study and research. It offers the flexibility of part-time study with the same high standards and requirements as the full-time DPhil programme. The part-time DPhil also provides an excellent opportunity for professionals in industry and civil society to undertake rigorous long-term research that may be relevant to their career.
As a part-time student, you will be required to attend seminars, supervision meetings, and other obligations in Oxford for a minimum of 30 days each year. Attendance will be required during term-time (a minimum of one day each week). There will be limited flexibility in the dates and pattern of attendance, which will normally be determined by the fixed teaching and seminar schedule during term. Attendance may be required outside of term-time on dates to be determined by mutual agreement with your supervisor. You will have the opportunity to tailor your part-time study in liaison with your supervisor and agree your pattern of attendance.
The allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Oxford Internet Institute and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff.
Supervision for the DPhil in Social Data Science spans multiple departments (please see the full list of faculty members eligible to supervise DPhil students for this programme). A supervisor may be found outside the list on the course web page, and co-supervision is also possible. All students will have at least one supervisor who is a faculty member of the OII.
Students should normally expect to meet with their supervisor at least three to four times a term. A more typical pattern is weekly or bimonthly, at least until you reach the stage of writing up your thesis.
The first year is a probationary year, soon after which, subject to satisfactory progress, you will be expected to transfer from Probationer Research Student (PRS) status to full DPhil status. The Transfer of Status takes place within a maximum of four terms for full-time students or eight terms for part-time students. A second formal assessment of progress, Confirmation of Status, takes place later in the programme, normally at the end of the third year. The Transfer of Status and Confirmation of Status assessments are conducted by two members of staff other than the student’s supervisor(s) or advisors.
The sequence of milestones for a DPhil student are as follows:
Students initially admitted to the status of Probationer Research Student (PRS) are required to attend and pass core modules from the OII’s training programme. Students who have already completed similar courses in their past academic career should request an exemption from one or more modules by providing sufficient evidence.
A successful transfer of status from PRS to DPhil status will require the student to show that their proposed thesis represents a viable topic and that their written work and interview show that they have a good knowledge and understanding of the subject. Students are also required to demonstrate satisfactory completion of the foundational courses by this point.
Following successful transfer, students will need to apply for and gain confirmation of DPhil status to show that the work continues to be on track. This will need to be completed within nine terms of admission for full-time students and 18 terms of admission for part-time students.
Both milestones involve an interview with two assessors (other than your supervisor) and therefore provide important experience for the final oral examination.
Full-time students will be expected to submit an original thesis of not more than 100,000 words three or, at most, four years from the date of admission. If you are studying part-time, you be required to submit your thesis after six or, at most, eight years from the date of admission. To be successfully awarded a DPhil in Social Data Science you will need to defend your thesis orally (viva voce) in front of two appointed examiners.
The Oxford Internet Institute provides you with skills and opportunities in teaching, research, policymaking and business innovation. Employers recognise the value of a degree from the University of Oxford, and the OII’s doctoral students regularly go on to secure excellent positions in industry, government, and NGOs.
Alumni who have pursued academic careers have taken up research and teaching positions including notably at the University of Oxford, Cornell University, University of Hong Kong, Imperial College London, and TU Delft. OII DPhil alumni have worked in a wide range of organisations including The World Bank, Open Technology Fund, Oxfam, Cisco, McKinsey, and Google.
The OII Alumni page features interviews from both MSc and DPhil alumni about their time at the Department and career paths after Oxford.
The University will seek to deliver this course in accordance with the description set out in this course page. However, there may be situations in which it is desirable or necessary for the University to make changes in course provision, either before or after registration. The safety of students, staff and visitors is paramount and major changes to delivery or services may have to be made in circumstances of a pandemic, epidemic or local health emergency. In addition, in certain circumstances, for example due to visa difficulties or because the health needs of students cannot be met, it may be necessary to make adjustments to course requirements for international study.
Where possible your academic supervisor will not change for the duration of your course. However, it may be necessary to assign a new academic supervisor during the course of study or before registration for reasons which might include illness, sabbatical leave, parental leave or change in employment.

Studying for a PhD full-time pays you more. It allows you to focus more on your research, and with more time, libraries, research labs, and easier access to university resources such as faculty support, students can always align their programs with university activity variety and attend seminars and workshops that provide them with a learning experience.
In contrast, part-time students are more likely to face distractions from work or other responsibilities, which can lead to delays in their progress and thesis completion. One of the main advantages of a full-time PhD is that a Part-time PhD takes seven years whereas Full-time PhD only takes 3-5 years to complete it.
This early completion allows full-time PhD holders to enter the workforce earlier, find employment, and advance their careers faster. Their benefits include the prestigious title of "Dr," the possibility of higher salaries, and prior opportunities in selected fields.
Overall, a full-time PhD program provides a focused and efficient path to academic and professional success. This guide will help you look at the good and bad points of both options, so you can pick the one that fits your aims and how you live best.

Going back to school when you're already working is a big choice if you're thinking about a PhD. You've got to figure out how you'll juggle your time and job. The key difference between full-time and part-time PhD programs? It's how long it takes to finish. The coursework and what you need to do are often the same.
The main difference between part-time and full-time PhD programs is how long it takes to finish the degree. Both need the same research and study. Still, the experience can change a lot:
Full-time PhD students can spend more time on their studies and research.Part-time students might have other things to do like work or family that compete with their coursework. Money help chances can change based on whether you work full-time or part-time.
Full-time students might get to dive deeper into their research. Picking the best program depends on how well you can balance your school with other parts of your life. Let's look at what full-time and part-time PhD programs give you to help you make a smart choice.

A full-time PhD program is like a full-time program, in which you have to visit college daily and you can even choose a specialization of your choice, expanding your understanding of a particular subject matter and schooling you in studies and collaboration competencies. Here's an average definition of what to anticipate:
Each PhD program varies depending on your field and institution or university, but all student information should always be as follows.
A complete-time PhD program is in-depth, requiring about 35 to 40 hours in line per week, similar to a complete-time process. Most of the time in the first two years may be spent inside the lecture room. After that, you'll give attention to researching, writing, and finishing other crucial obligations.
In 2020, there were 55,283 completed PhDs in the U.S., with an average completion time of 5.8 years, according to the National Science Foundation. Most PhD programs take at least 4 years, but it can take longer, even for full-time students.
How long it takes to finish depends on factors like:
Remember, taking longer to finish doesn’t lessen your achievement. If you need extra time or revisions, don’t get discouraged.
Full-time PhD programs are a big time commitment. They might be ideal for students who:
You can start full-time and switch to part-time later if your situation changes.
Part-time PhD programs offer students more flexibility. Each student's experience may differ, but common traits include:
In a part-time program, you have more time for other obligations, but it means being a student for a longer period. The workload is the same as in a full-time program, just spread over more years.
Key differences include:
Part-time PhD programs are variable, especially in terms of how long they take to complete.
A part-time PhD usually lasts between five and eight years, but this time depends on how much time the university gives you and how much work you put in.
You may end up with more time than you originally thought sooner, or your work and life balance may get in the way So it takes longer.A full-time PhD usually takes three to four years. However, the title period can actually be extended up to four years.
A part-time PhD usually takes five to eight years, depending on the university's timeline and your effort. You might finish sooner if you have more time than expected, or it might take longer if work and life balance are challenging.
A full-time PhD takes three to four years. However, the thesis deadline can sometimes be extended for up to four years.
Many students find the flexibility of a part-time PhD program beneficial. You might be a good fit if you:
You can start slowly and gradually take on more work as your circumstances allow.
Full-time Ph.D. It usually takes three to five years, with lots of research and reading. It offers a full-time Ph.D. The program:
While a full-time Ph.D. While this program has many benefits, it also comes with some demanding situations:

Let’s start with the positives of a part-time Ph.D.
Part-time and full-time Ph.D. It’s not straightforward. This would be an easy decision if part-time PhDs were always good, but they are not. Here are some of the reasons:
There are various types of a PhD programs. Some of them are mentioned below.
PhD programs come in a variety of forms. A selection of them are listed below:
Universities in India have rules for part-time PhDs, but there are some common criteria. Part-time PhD programs are usually for those who want to work or have other significant commitments. Students must meet the same academic requirements as full-time students, including a valid master’s degree and a good academic record.
The length of time required to complete a part-time PhD is longer than a full-time program, usually lasting six to eight years. Universities may require part-time students to attend campus events, such as seminars or workshops, over a period of time.
In addition, applicants must seek permission from their employers if they are employed and provide evidence that their PhD research can be used to supervise their employment. Students should consult with specific university regulations, as requirements and policies may vary.
Yes, part-time PhDs are valid and recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India. The UGC allows universities to offer part-time PhD programs, provided they meet certain quality criteria and guidelines.
These programs are particularly suitable for working professionals who are unable to commit to a full-time study program. A key requirement is that research and learning standards must be equivalent to a full-time program.
Students in part-time PhD programs must therefore meet all necessary criteria, including coursework, thesis, and dissertation, just like their full-time counterparts.
No university or college can offer PhD programs through distance education or online mode, according to the current regulations. However, candidates who are already employed can pursue a PhD, as long as they meet all the eligibility requirements specified in the existing PhD regulations. Click on the link to check it on the official website of the UGC.
Yes, a part-time PhD is suitable and valid for those aiming to become an assistant professor. Many universities and colleges accept part-time PhDs, as long as the degree meets both academic and research requirements.
The key is to ensure that a part-time PhD program complies with university rules and standards. Universities generally look for strong research candidates, regardless of whether they completed their PhD full-time or part-time.
However, some institutions or universities may have additional or preferred criteria for part-time PhD holders, so it’s a good idea to check with specific university programs. Moreover, although a part-time PhD is valid, it can take longer to complete compared to a full-time program, which can affect the time you can apply for positions.
Balancing research and other commitments can be a challenge, but many successful teaching assistants completed their PhDs part-time. What ultimately matters most is the research you do and how you can support education.
According to the recent updates, the NET score will be counted for PhD admission. Now, universities do not need to take their own entrance exams.
They have grouped NET scores into three categories. These three categories are:
|
| ||
JRF | Assistant Professor | PhD Admission | |
Award for JRF & Assistant Professor Appointment | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Promotion to Assistant Professor and PhD Admission | No | Yes | Yes |
PhD Admission Only | No | No | Yes |
Below is information on PhD salaries in India for Professors, Associate Professors, and other positions. The table shows the salaries of PhD Professors in India.
|
|
Associate Professor | Rs 4 to 8 Lakhs |
Professor | Rs 7.80 to 30 Lakhs |
Consultant | Rs 8 to 10 Lakhs |
Research Scientist | Rs 6 to 12 Lakhs |
Senior Writer | Rs 10 to 14 Lakhs |
Research Assistant | Rs 3.10 to 5 Lakhs |
Computer Engineer | Rs 4 to 9 Lakhs |
Legal Assistant | Rs 4 to 8 Lakhs |
If a student in a part-time PhD program wishes to pursue full-time study, an application may be made at the beginning of the semester.
This requires the approval of the Doctoral Progress Committee (DPC) and the Dean of Research/PhD. The student can also leave their job for at least two years to focus on their research after completing the course.
The student is required to provide two Certificates of Objection (NOCs):
One is from their current employer so that they can become a full-time research scientist at the institution where their supervisor is located.
If it is not a PG college/institution affiliated to the University, where the invigilator is working, it gives access to the centers.
If the student is unemployed and unable to file an NOC, he/she should be given an undertaking to work as a full-time research scholar in the institution of the sponsor for a minimum of two years.
Conversion from a part-time to a full-time position is permitted only once during the PhD program. During this process, the student cannot change his/her discipline, branch, or research topic. Once the transition to full-time status has been approved, the student must follow all rules and guidelines for full-time research scholars.
To calculate study time, half the time spent as a part-time student counts as full-time study.
Yes, there is an alternative to a PhD Program, and the alternative is a DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) It is also a doctorate program that can be completed in a minimum of 3 to 5 years.
Moreover, if you opt for an online DBA, you will be able to earn your doctorate degree from an international university without even relocating to another country.
Furthermore, you even get an opportunity to study from an international faculties who have years of experience and have published their work in top journals, they guide you to the best.
Moreover, there are many universities offering you an online DBA. Some of them are mentioned below :
|
|
| INR 8,14,000 |
| INR 8,12,500 |
| INR 8,14,000 |
Studying a PhD full-time pays off big time. It allows you to focus more on your research, and with more time, libraries, research labs, and easy access to university resources like faculty support, students can always align their programs with university activities and attend seminars and workshops that provide them with learning experiences. In contrast, part-time students are more likely to face distractions from work or other responsibilities, which can delay their progress and dissertation completion One of the major advantages of a full-time PhD is that a part-time PhD takes seven years while a full-time PhD takes only 3-5 years.
⭐ is a full-time phd more valuable than a part-time phd.
Both full-time and part-time PhDs have similar value in terms of credibility. The main difference is that a full-time PhD can be completed faster, which may offer some advantages in career progression. However, both types can lead to similar job opportunities and salaries.
The credibility of both degrees is the same. A full-time PhD takes three to five years, while a part-time PhD takes longer. The best choice depends on your personal circumstances and commitments.
If you qualify with JRF (Junior Research Fellowship) and Assistant Professorship, you can choose to do a full-time PhD with a stipend or work as an Assistant Professor while doing a part-time PhD without a stipend.
Yes, you can switch from part-time to full-time PhD at the beginning of a semester. This requires a recommendation from the Doctoral Progress Committee (DPC) and approval from the Dean of Research/PhD. You must also be able to leave your job for at least two years to focus on your research.
Yes, a part-time PhD is recognized as valid according to UGC guidelines. However, you need a "No Objection Certificate" from your employer and must complete at least six months of coursework full-time.
A part-time PhD is not easier than a full-time PhD. Both require significant effort, commitment, and passion to complete. The main difference is the flexibility in scheduling.
No, the UGC JRF fellowship is only available for full-time PhD students. A part-time PhD does not come with a stipend but is more suited for working professionals who want to continue their job while studying.
