The MPhil degree is solely a research degree, designed to recognise an original contribution to knowledge that is normally presented as a thesis. It is intended to be the product of one year of full-time research.
The Master of Philosophy is a pre-eminent research-based degree in which students undertake a programme of approved and supervised research that leads to a thesis. The thesis critically investigates an approved topic of substance and significance, demonstrates expertise in the methods of research and scholarship, displays intellectual independence and makes a substantial original contribution to the field of study, and is of publishable quality. It encourages development of research skills and furthers your knowledge of techniques, as well as providing training in specialist areas.
A Bachelors with Honours or Masters degree with at least Second Class Honours (First Division) or Distinction is required. Entrance is at the discretion of the Postgraduate Studies Committee.
