The expected outcomes are twofold, namely the acquisition by the student of the required research skills and the experience in undertaking research at a postgraduate level. The research carried out would, in turn, provide useful in furthering one’s understanding of particular issues related to the researched area. Thus, research into the more vital venues and in areas as yet unexplored is highly encouraged.

The Course shall be open to applicants in possession of one of the following qualifications: (1) (a) a Bachelor’s degree with Honours obtained with Second Class or better in the same area or in a closely related area of study as the area of study applied for, or (b) the degree of Bachelor in the same area or in a closely related area of study as that applied for, with an average mark of not less than 65% in that area of study, or similar qualifications deemed by the Board relevant to that chosen for the Course, or (c) a degree from this or another university, which the Board considers as comparable to any of the degrees indicated in paragraphs (a) and (b). (2) The Board may also consider applicants in possession of degrees or qualifications other than those referred to above if they also present a portfolio of work confirmed to have been carried out by them and which is related to the area of study applied for to the satisfaction of the Board.
