In her PhD 'defense' on Twitter, Siouxsie Wiles mentioned that she'd received her PhD from Edinburgh Napier University. There is a chance that this is true, but if so it's likely that she's received a PhD via this method (which was one of my OIA questions);

Because not only has Siouxsie Wiles not provided a thesis as evidence that she has a PhD but once again there's no thesis in a search engine that specializes in these sort of searches. This time on the Edinburgh Napier University website, a search from 1997 to 2005 in alphabetical order. It jumps from David Ian White in 2002 to Simon Wilkinson in 2001. There is nobody by the surname of Wiles (a surname that Siouxsie has never stopped using and one that she was definitely using around this period).
