'I completed a part-time PhD in 2007 and found the support I received from Staffordshire University to be exemplary.  The supervision I received was both academically rigourous and unfailingly helpful over the six years I took to complete my thesis.  My project was library based, and the library staff were incredibly helpful in sourcing material and acquiring it.  My overall experience of working for a PhD at Staffordshire University was entirely positive and working within the Law School was supportive and provided a lively environment'.
