In the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences the MPhil may be undertaken in the principal areas of research offered by the faculty. Students will be required to conduct a prescribed program of research under direct supervision of a member of the academic staff. The supervisor, in consultation with the candidate, is responsible for developing the research program to be followed by the candidate and for reporting at regular intervals on the candidate's progress. The MPhil requires the candidate to submit a thesis which may include published work directly relevant to the argument of the thesis, provided such work has been written during the period of candidature and has not been presented for any other degree or diploma at this university of any other institution.
