Recently, I have been let down by my employer and will no longer be able to pursue my PhD within the company. I am not at this time registered with any university, but would like to know of any possible way I can use some of the research work I have performed in the the past three years to apply for MPhil/MRes by dissertation: I do not have the time to attend classes. Thanks for any advice you may have.
If your research involved some form of collaboration with a university then you may have a small chance of being admitted for a PhD by publication. However your thesis would be a public document and you would therefore need either control of the intellectual property rights relating to your research or permission from the people who do (presumably your former employers).
Do not be taken in by adds on the internet for 'Life Experience' PhDs - they are not worth the paper they are written on.
