POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH

The IPP provides a dynamic research environment for individuals wanting to pursue advanced studies in major areas of public policy, economic development and social policy. These programmes fall into three distinctive categories:

• Master of Philosophy. The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is a research degree that equates with one year of full-time study or the part-time equivalent over two years. The MPhil is offered through the Institute of Public Policy in two major areas:
  -Economic Development - MPhil (Economic Development)
  - Public Policy - MPhil (Public Policy)
  Where appropriate, candidates enrolled in the MPhil (Economic Development) or MPhil (Public Policy) will be linked to one of the research programmes administered by the Institute of Public Policy.
• Doctor of Philosophy. The doctoral programme is the highest supervised degree offered by the University. Doctoral degrees are characterised by advanced study and original research with the defining characteristic of the doctoral thesis being its original contribution to knowledge. Candidates accepted into the doctoral programme of the University and located at the Institute of Public Policy will be supervised by leading researchers in Public Policy and in Economic and Social Development.
