About the Program
The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) program is completed by a research thesis of about 40,000 words on an approved topic under the guidance of a supervisory team. The candidate demonstrates the capacity to carry out independent research.
The MPhil program is offered as a stand-alone degree serving as a stepping stone to the PhD degree. It is an internationally recognized award of a higher level of supervised scholarship at master's level.
The MPhil program culminates with external examination of the thesis, which must be passed for the candidate to be eligible for the award. The normal period of candidature is two years full-time or four years part-time.
Purpose
The MPhil Program aims to produce scholars and scientists able to conduct research autonomously and contribute to the National Research Agenda. The MPhil award by thesis alone is recommended for those in, or aiming to enter, an academic position or a professional research post.
