동남아 연구에서 연구 학위 (MPhil / PhD)

Structure

All students register in year 1 of the programme as MPhil students. The upgrade from MPhil to PhD takes place at the end of the first academic session for full-time students (or at the end of the second academic session for part-time students).

All new MPhil/PhD students are provided with a supervisory committee of three members, comprising a main or primary supervisor, and a second and third supervisor. The split in time commitment across the supervisory committee is 60:25:15. In the first year, students are expected to meet their main supervisor on a fortnightly basis for a period of at least one hour.

The student’s primary supervisor is always a member of the Department in which the student is registered. The second and third supervisors, who act in a supplementary advisory capacity, may be from the same Department, or other Departments/Centres in the Faculty of Languages and Cultures or in Departments/Centres in the other Faculties of the School.

Depending on the nature of the research, joint supervision is sometimes recommended, under the direction of two primary supervisors. In such cases, the student has only one further supervisor on their committee.

The student’s progress is further overseen by a Departmental Research Tutor.

1학년 동안 학생들은 연구 담당 부학장이 교수진 수준에서 소집하고 학습 및 교육 개발에서 제공하는 일반 교육의 지원을 받는 연구 교육 세미나 시리즈(RTS)를 수강하여 연구를 준비합니다.

Students working in the fields of literature and cultural studies are also invited to participate in the additional training offered by the Centre for Cultural, Literary and Postcolonial Studies (CCLPS).

Students may also be encouraged by supervisors to attend additional taught courses relevant to their research and to their training needs. These may include specialist disciplinary, language or regional culture courses or research training in other Departments outside the Faculty.

Year 1

1학년 학생들은 12월 15일 금요일까지 지도위원회에 5,000단어 분량의 문헌 검토를 제출해야 합니다.

정규 1학년(파트타임 학생의 경우 2학년)은 5월 11일 금요일까지 지도 위원회에 핵심 장과 연구 제안서(약 10,000단어)를 제출해야 합니다. 일반적으로 다음 요소를 포함해야 합니다.

• Research rationale and context of proposed research
• Main research questions
• Literature review
• Theoretical and methodological framework and considerations
• Proposed research methods
• Ethical issues (where applicable)
• Outlining the structure of PhD dissertation
• Schedule of research and writing
• Bibliography.

Adjustments to one or more of these sections, including additions or deletions where appropriate, are possible by prior arrangement between the students and lead supervisors.

MPhil에서 PhD로의 업그레이드 과정은 학생의 연구 위원회가 핵심 장을 평가하고, 20-30분 분량의 구두 발표와 토론을 거쳐 이루어집니다. 구두 발표는 학과 직원과 연구생에게 제공됩니다. 확장 제안서를 성공적으로 완료하면 학생은 공식적으로 박사 학위로 업그레이드되고 2학년으로 진급합니다. (평가자가 업그레이드 제안서에 단점이 있다고 판단하는 경우, 학생은 박사 학위로의 업그레이드를 확정하기 전에 제안서를 만족스럽게 수정하도록 요청받습니다.) 학생들은 일반적으로 업그레이드 과정이 완료되기 전까지 2학년으로 진급할 수 없습니다.

Year 2

The second year (or part-time equivalent) is normally spent engaged in research. This may be by any combination of fieldwork and research in libraries and material collection as agreed between the student and the supervisor(s).

Year 3

The third year (or part-time equivalent) is devoted to writing up research for the PhD thesis. During this time, students will normally give a presentation in a research seminar organised by the Departmental Research Tutor, comprising a select number of staff members with special expertise in the topic and other research students. During the third year (or part-time equivalent) students will present draft chapters to their main supervisor for comment, before completing a final draft of the thesis. Once a full draft is complete, the work is assessed by all members of the supervisory committee and the student can either submit the thesis or move on to Continuation Status to be given a further 12 months to complete the thesis and submit it for examination. The thesis must be completed within 48 months from the time of registration (or part-time equivalent).

The thesis – not to exceed 100,000 words in length - is examined by two leading authorities in the field.

PhD Degrees are awarded by SOAS from registration in 2013 and are subject to SOAS regulations.
