External Research Degrees
The admission of candidates to undertake external research degrees is possible in special circumstances with the approval of the Higher Degree Research Committee. Before admission can be approved, the candidate and the Department in which the student is to be registered must provide detailed information about how the following conditions will be met.
On-campus attendance: a minimum of one month per year of equivalent full-time enrolment with an overall minimum of two months for a Master degree and three months for a Doctorate, sufficient part of which must be during the final phase of thesis preparation.
The place of study and research outside the University must be approved by the Higher Degree Research Committee. The Higher Degree Research Committee, on the recommendation of the Head of Department will appoint a person at the place of study as an associate supervisor for the candidate, unless the Committee determines, in special circumstances, that an adjunct supervisor does not need to be appointed.
