Guide For Preparing a doctoral research proposal

For your guide, the proposal should not exceed three pages typed one-and-half spacing on A4 sized paper. Your Doctoral Research Proposal might usefully be organized into nine sections as follows:

You will be expected to undertake some modules in the discipline. The final thesis should not less than 70,000 words focusing on the area of your preferred specialisation.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

There are instances where students may be able to spend less time on the programme by a method called recognition of prior learning. Recognition of Prior Learning is a method of assessment (leading to the award of credit) that considers whether learners can demonstrate that they can meet the assessment requirements for a unit through knowledge, understanding of skills they already possess and so not need to develop through a course of learning.”

That way you will be exempted from doing certain courses on the programme.

 

If you decide to join the programme straight away, you will be required to send us the following documents to assess your suitability on the programme:
