Course summary

The PhD in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies is a three to four-year course consisting of individual supervision and guided research. Students are given guidance in areas specific to their subject and in advanced research methods. In the third term (Easter) of the first year, students submit a PhD progress examination, which usually consists of a critical essay and a general statement about progress to date and the likely course of their future research. At the end of the programme, students submit a PhD thesis, followed by a viva (oral examination).
