The MLitt serves as an alternative to a PhD for those holding a master's degree who wish to pursue a significant research endeavor. Available across most disciplines within the Faculty of Arts (pending approval and supervisory availability), this program allows you to either deepen your expertise in your current field or explore a completely new research area. The MLitt proves valuable for various academic and professional paths, particularly for individuals not pursuing doctoral studies. Through a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) or Master of Arts in Politics and International Relations, you can tailor your academic journey to align with your specific research passions and professional aspirations.
You need to have completed a masters degree in any discipline from a recognised university (or similar institution) with a GPE of 4.0 or higher.
