Research Degrees
The principal research degrees are Master of
Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy
(PhD). In addition, the Faculty of Medical Sciences
offers the Doctor of Medicine (MD). Research
Degrees involve independent study, assisted
by a Supervisor, and the production of a thesis.
The essential difference between the Master
and Doctoral levels, apart from the length of
the registration period, lies in the quality
of a successful PhD thesis. This must be judged
to be the result of original research, to be
an addition to knowledge and to be worthy of
publication either in full or in an abridged
form. The award of a PhD degree also requires
that a candidate defend his/her thesis at a
public oral examination.
A
candidate who is registered for the MPhil degree
may apply, after a period of one year from the
date of initial registration and at any time
thereafter within a total period of three years
from the initial registration, for upgrading
of his/her registration to the PhD.
Research
degrees contain a taught element. The intention
of these courses is to provide students with
research techniques and skills that will not
only help them to complete their current research
topic, but strengthen their practical application
skills for life after university.
We
recognize the considerable personal and financial
investment that students make in deciding to
pursue a higher degree, therefore note that
it is extremely important that the choice made
suits individual needs and preferences. If you
decide to pursue a research degree, it is also
important that the thesis topic chosen is of
genuine and sustainable interest.
Graduate
Students at The University of the West Indies
are asked to make themselves familiar with Regulations
