Description
Our Masters by Research degrees involve undertaking a scheme of study and research, defined in advance (normally by the student), which will normally be (a) a critical evaluation and analysis of a body of knowledge, and/or (b) an original contribution to the field. For MA by Research, the area of investigation may be historical, analytical, philosophical, critical, or empirical in nature.
Each student has a supervisory committee, consisting of a principal supervisor, a personal tutor, and another staff member with relevant expertise. Research students have regular meetings with their principal supervisor (normally once a fortnight), and are welcome to consult other members of their committee as appropriate. They are encouraged to present reports on their work in seminars and colloquia during their period of study.
Submission for MA by Research
A submission for MA by Research traditionally takes the form of a thesis, not exceeding 50,000 words in length. If the submission includes non-textual materials (such as a critical edition), the word length is normally reduced.
Final assessment is by means of a viva voce examination by an appointed panel consisting of an internal examiner from within the School (not identical with members of the supervisory committee), one external examiner who is an expert in the field, and a chair.
