Course summary
This MPhil in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies by Research (Japanese Studies) provides initial research training and, in most cases, aims to develop students' linguistic skills as well as methodological sophistication.
Assessment
Thesis
For the MPhil in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies by Research (Japanese Studies), students will submit a thesis of not more than 25,000 words, including footnotes and appendices but excluding bibliography on a subject approved by the Degree Committee. All MPhil theses must include a brief abstract at the start of the thesis of no more than 400 words.
Those students who take the MPhil by research will be required to take a viva examination (oral examination in person), which is normally held in September.
At the end of the MPhil programme, students will be expected to have:
- acquired, where appropriate, the ability to read, interpret and translate primary sources in Modern and/or classical Japanese;
- acquired a good knowledge of the general scholarship on modern and/or classical Japanese culture(s);
- acquired an in-depth knowledge of the secondary literature relevant to the subject of their thesis;
- developed the ability to formulate original research questions and to produce a well-constructed argument to answer them, in the form of an independent piece of research based on the use of primary and secondary sources; and
- developed independent library- and internet-based research skills concomitant with successful completion of a Masters-level degree.
