Students are encouraged to take the taught Masters programme if they possibly can. Entry into the Masters programme requires an Honours degree. There is also an entrance examination. Students may begin the taught Masters programme in either February or July. The taught Masters programme extends over eighteen months, or longer for part-time students.
Doctoral degrees are by thesis only.
Candidates for doctoral degrees register provisionally while they are developing a research proposal. The research proposal must be presented to a department seminar and then submitted to the Faculty s Higher Degrees Committee. Once the proposal is approved, final registration takes place.
