1.6 The M.A. and M.Soc.Sc. degrees Students generally have a choice between (1) a two-year structured M.A. and M.Soc.Sc. and (2) an M.A./M.Soc.Sc. by dissertation. (1) The two-year, full-time, structured M.A./M.Soc.Sc. require students to select and study courses for examination, and to research and write a mini-dissertation. In general, students can register for the structured M.A./M.Soc.Sc. degree immediately after completing the B.A./B.Soc.Sc. degree, with the B.A.Hons./B.Soc.Sc.Hons. degree as an "exit" at the end of the first year. (2) The M.A./M.Soc.Sc. by dissertation requires students to write a substantial research essay on a topic agreed upon with the Head of Department or a supervisor he appoints. In certain courses a number of articles published in accredited journals is accepted instead of a dissertation. As the specific requirements of courses differ, students must acquaint themselves carefully with the requirements of the course they choose. 1.7 The Ph.D. degree Unless otherwise specified, a Doctorate is awarded to a M.A./M.Soc.Sc. graduate who writes a research thesis of noteworthy substance. In certain courses a body of published or publishable articles is accepted instead of a thesis. Students must acquaint themselves with the specific requirements of their course.
