M.Phil. Law and Governance

The MPhil programme is a two-year/ four-semester programme of study from which students may move on to the doctoral programme, provided they meet the minimum grade requirements laid down by the University. The MPhil programme consists of 3 compulsory courses; 3 optional courses; and a dissertation. Each course carries 3 credits, and the course requirements are to be completed in the first two semesters of the programme. The dissertation carries 10 credits and is to be completed by the end of the fourth semester.

While the three core compulsory courses provide a general overview of the issues and debates in the area of law and governance, the optional courses provide the students with the opportunity to develop a specialization, and so build up an expertise that can be further channelised in the dissertation work.
