Higher Degree Programmes by Research
Candidates will pursue independent but supervised research
on an approved topic which a thesis must be submitted for
examination. Candidates are also required to do at least three
to six courses. Selection of courses is made after consultation
with the research supervisor.
Research candidates work closely and keep in regular contact
with their supervisor on their research project. Supervisors will
submit regular reports on the progress of each candidate
under their supervision. In addition to being examined on the
thesis, a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
must pass an oral examination on the subject matter of his
thesis and related matters. For non-PhD candidates, the oral
examination may be prescribed at the discretion of the Board
of Examiners.
Higher Degree Programmes by Coursework
Candidates will follow a prescribed programme of study
comprising several courses and undertake a project on which
a dissertation will be written. For most programmes, the
dissertation can also be replaced by a few equivalent courses.
The course of study involves formal classes, lectures,
tutorials, seminars, laboratory work and written examinations.
