Bachelor's Degree
The MPhil program typically spans two years for full-time students, with a part-time option extending up to four years. During the initial nine months, students complete the coursework components equivalent to an MLitt degree. This includes a dedicated research methods module designed to enhance academic investigation skills. By the conclusion of the second year, candidates must submit a thesis (maximum 40,000 words) and undergo an oral defense (viva voce). Successful completion of the first year is mandatory to advance to the second year of study.
