DPhil is the abbreviation Oxford (and some other universities, mainly in the commonwealth) uses for "doctor of philosophy". PhD is the more common abbreviation, used by Cambridge, for instance, and most US universities. Note that there's a large difference between a PhD at a US university and a DPhil (or PhD) in the UK. The former usually involves a lot more course work (and takes at least 5 years), since you can enter the programme with a bachelor's degree, whereas in the UK you're usually expected to hold a master's degree already when you start your DPhil or PhD (which will typically take you 4 years to complete).
