Conversion to PhD
Students of the Research Degree programme may convert to a PhD candidate if they satisfy all the criteria below:
- Display excellent progress in their research.
- Able to demonstrate the potential of their project to be expended to PhD level.
- Pass a rigorous assessment.
Successful conversion means that the student will no longer be a Research Degree candidate but will instead become a PhD candidate with their candidature start date backdated to their original Research Degree registration date. Hence, it allows the student to gain a PhD award within a shorter timeframe, without the need to complete a Masters programme.
Programme Structure / Process Flow
Application Process
Ideally, student works with potential supervisors to develop proposal.
This programme is conducted by research and is assessed via oral presentations and reports at various junctures, including a Proposal Defence, regular half-yearly progress monitoring at research colloquiums, Work Completion Defence, Thesis Examination and Viva Voce. Students would need to take one taught module on Research Methodology to gain the pre-requisite knowledge to effectively carry out their research. Regular discussions with the supervisors would be expected to ensure the direction of research as well as the quality and significance of the findings.
