• The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) Degree – A Guide

Written by Mark Bennett

MPhil stands for ‘Master of Philosophy’. It is a postgraduate research degree which can studied as part of a PhD or a standalone qualification. Instead of completing taught units and assessments, an MPhil consists entirely of your own independent project .

An MPhil is often a stepping stone towards registering for a PhD but is also awarded to students who decide to discontinue their PhD after the first two years.

What is an MPhil?

Unlike most other Masters qualifications, the MPhil is a pure research degree. Whereas an MRes will include some taught units, an MPhil is based entirely on the completion of an independent thesis.

You’ll undertake this work under the guidance of an academic supervisor, but won’t normally have any other timetabled classes or assessments.

Is an MPhil actually a ‘Masters’ degree?

Though its full title identifies it as a Masters degree, the MPhil actually sits somewhere between other Masters qualifications and more advanced postgraduate research training.

In most higher education systems, the MPhil is considered to be a ‘Masters-level’ qualification.

• The UK National Qualifications Framework (NQF) places the MPhil at level 7, along with other Masters degrees such as the MA , MSc and MRes .
• In Europe , the MPhil is also a Masters-level or ‘second cycle’ qualification.

Both systems place the MPhil ‘beneath’ the PhD, which is a level 8, or ‘third cycle’ qualification. In practice, however, the MPhil is much more like a PhD than other Masters degrees. However, there are some fundamental differences between an MPhil and a PhD.

MPhil vs PhD

It’s helpful to think of an MPhil as a smaller scale PhD. Some PhD degrees are actually titled ‘DPhil’, which makes the relationship between these two qualification levels clearer (in Latin at least!).

The two qualifications are also related in other ways. It’s quite common to ‘transfer’ between MPhil and PhD registration, depending on the progress of your research.

There are various ways in which this can happen, depending on your circumstances:

• You may enrol for an MPhil in the initial stage of a doctoral programme. You’ll then ‘upgrade’ to PhD registration, once your research has reached a required stage.
• Some universities also award the MPhil during a PhD programme. In this case your MPhil qualification will then be superseded by your doctorate.
• You may also choose to graduate with an MPhil instead of a PhD . This can happen if you wish to exit your programme early.
• Rarely, an MPhil may be awarded if you submit for a PhD, but your thesis is not judged to be of the required standard.

MPhil vs MSc / MA

The main difference between an MPhil and an MSc / MA is the way in which they’re delivered. An MSc or MA is primarily a taught Masters degree, with lecturer-led lessons, seminars and laboratory work. An MPhil, on the other hand, doesn’t involve any teaching – the entire qualification is made up of an independent research project.

Both MSc / MA and MPhil programmes are excellent preparation for a PhD. However, an MPhil is much closer to a PhD than a typical MSc or MA degree.

MPhil or MRes?

While the MPhil and the MRes both have a focus on independent research, an MRes is primarily a research training qualification, whereas an MPhil is a single research project. An MRes will still have some taught components, while an MPhil is a pure research degree.

MPhil - Frequently asked questions

What are the entry requirements for an mphil.

As an advanced research qualification, an MPhil will usually have extra admissions requirements.

You’ll need an appropriate Bachelors degree, as normal. But you may also need to hold another Masters degree (such as an MA or MSc ). If your MPhil is intended to lead to a PhD , your university may expect you to have existing experience at taught postgraduate level. If your project is smaller and self-contained, this may not be necessary.

Most MPhil programmes will also require you to put forward a research proposal . This will define your intended project and / or state how you intend to tackle it.

Which subjects award MPhil degrees?

The MPhil can be awarded in all subject areas . It usually depends on the discipline your intended research project falls into. In the vast majority of cases the MPhil is a ‘generic’ degree, available in any academic discipline that can support a sufficiently in-depth research project.

Who should study an MPhil?

The MPhil is often overshadowed by the PhD, or incorrectly viewed as the outcome of a failed PhD (or failed PhD upgrade). In fact there are plenty of good reasons for studying a standalone MPhil.

You might have identified a smaller research topic that interests you, but which doesn’t have the scope for a full PhD.

Alternatively, you may choose the MPhil over the PhD for career-based reasons. An MPhil provides advanced research skills and experience which are valued by a range of employers.

A PhD also demonstrates these, of course. But the added benefit of a doctorate may not be as significant outside the academic profession.

What’s it like to study an MPhil?

There are effectively two ways of studying an MPhil: You may register for the degree as part of a PhD pathway. Or you may register for a standalone MPhil qualification.

The nature of your registration will determine the length and assessment of your course, but its content will be the same.

Both ‘types’ of MPhil registration are pure research degrees. This distinguishes the MPhil from other research Masters (such as the MRes) which still include some taught units.

Like a PhD student, you’ll be assigned an expert supervisor. They’ll be responsible for guiding your project and providing mentoring for your development as a researcher.

You’ll have regular meetings with your supervisor at which you can discuss your ideas and receive feedback on work in progress. But most of your time will be spent working on your own initiative and taking responsibility for setting and meeting targets.

How long is an MPhil?

A standalone MPhil is normally two years long when studied as a full-time degree. Alternatively, you can study for four to five years part-time.

MPhil registration within a PhD programme normally lasts for one year . You will then transfer to full PhD registration after passing an upgrade exam .

How is an MPhil assessed?

As a research degree, your MPhil won’t normally include any taught units or coursework assignments. Instead you will be assessed entirely on the strength of your thesis.

This will involve an oral examination, similar to the formal viva voce that concludes a PhD. You’ll discuss and defend your work in front of a panel of examiners.

What happens at an MPhil viva?

An MPhil viva will not normally be as long or intensive as a PhD viva.

It will primarily assess the accuracy of your findings and understanding, rather than the significance of your original contribution to knowledge. During your MPhil viva, you’ll probably be asked to summarise your thesis in a few minutes. You’ll also be asked questions on your methodology, theoretical framework and literature review.

What happens at an MPhil upgrade?

If you’re registered for an MPhil as the first part of a PhD programme, you will eventually sit an ‘ upgrade exam ’ in order to transfer your enrolment to that of a PhD student.

This will be similar to the viva that concludes an MPhil or PhD, but on a smaller and more informal scale.

You’ll normally submit a partial draft of your thesis (such as a first chapter, or literature review) or prepare some initial results. These will form the basis for a discussion with your supervisor and at least one other ‘examiner’ from within your university.

The ‘exam’ itself will focus as much on your future plans as on your work so far. You’ll need to demonstrate that your project has the potential required of PhD work and that you are making sufficient progress to complete it in a suitable timeframe.

If successful, your registration will be upgraded and you will eventually submit for the PhD degree, rather than the MPhil.

How many credits is an MPhil worth?

Like PhDs, most MPhil degrees don't have a credit value . This is because they aren’t made up of individually assessed modules or units.

It’s possible that your MPhil may include some initial training in research methods and that these will be given a nominal credit value. However, this won’t contribute to an overall credit value for your degree.

Before submitting

The word limit is 15,000 words, exclusive of footnotes, bibliography and appendices. The Degree Committee cannot give permission to exceed the word limit.

Format and presentation

Please see the information on the  Cambridge Students  website.

Submission deadlines

Students starting in October – 31 August (2pm) Students starting in January – 30 November (2pm)

If these dates fall on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, we will accept the thesis by 12 noon on the next working day.

Extensions can only be granted in limited circumstances; see  Extending your submission date . If you do not submit by your deadline, you will be removed from the register of graduate students, which will result in you losing access to resources. However, if this happens, you will still be able to submit your thesis  at a later date .

If you are planning to leave the country at the end of your course, or if you are intending to commence a PhD shortly after completing your MPhil, you may need to be examined early and should aim to submit your thesis well in advance of the last possible date.

Preparing to submit

Four weeks before you intend to submit your thesis, please complete the online  Intention to Submit Form . After consulting with your supervisor, the GSO will arrange for your examiners to be appointed and your title approved. The GSO will also add you to the Moodle site so that you will be able to submit your thesis when it is completed.

Where and what to submit

Details of what you must include can be found on the Cambridge Students website. 

You should submit an electronic pdf copy of your thesis via the Engineering Degree Committee thesis submission   Moodle site. Please name the file "MPhil_Your CRSid.pdf" so that it is identifiable.

The MPhil in Engineering is examined by dissertation only. You will be required to take two modules and take part in a Researcher Development Course but the results do not count towards your final degree.

After submitting

The oral examination (viva).

We will email you when your thesis has been forwarded to your examiners. You should expect to wait at least 6 weeks for your oral examination. In most cases the viva will be between you and two examiners, usually one internal and one external. The examiners of your thesis will want to satisfy themselves that  it is clearly written, that it takes account of previously published work on the subject and that it represents a contribution to learning .  The regulations for the MPhil in Engineering also require that the thesis  provides evidence that you can design and carry out investigations, assess and interpret the results obtained and place the work in the wider perspective of the subject.

If you wish to notify examiners of any disability or request adjustments on account of such disability for your viva voce examination (either for your first year assessment or final examination), you can do this via your Degree Committee by completing and submitting the  voluntary disclosure form .

After your oral examination, you may be asked to make some corrections to your thesis. If your examiners do not provide you with a list of corrections, please contact the  GSO  and we will arrange for a list to be sent to you.  When the corrections are complete, you should show them to your internal examiner (and/or your external examiner in some cases).

After the examination

Your examiners' reports will be considered at a meeting of the  Engineering Degree Committee . Following this meeting, you will receive an email from the Graduate Studies Office informing you of the outcome, along with copies of your examiners' reports.

No corrections needed, or corrections completed and approved before paperwork considered by Degree Committee

If you were not required to make any corrections, or you have already completed your corrections and they have been approved by your examiners before your paperwork is considered by the Degree Committee, then you will receive an email from the GSO informing you that you have passed.

Corrections required

Examiners can recommend that you need to complete some corrections to your thesis. These can be either minor, which you will be given three weeks to complete, or major, which you will be given six weeks to complete. These timings start from the date that your examination paperwork is approved by the Degree Committee, and you will receive an email from the GSO informing you of the relevant timeframes following that meeting.

You remain on the register of graduate students during this period (unless your corrections are approved sooner), however the working restrictions for graduate students do not apply during this time. You should still apply for  leave to work away  if you are completing your corrections away from Cambridge. After completing your corrections, you should send them to your internal examiner to approve, who will then confirm to the Degree Committee, via the GSO, when they have done so. Approval of corrections does not need to go through any further committee meetings. The GSO will then notify you when your degree is approved.

Other outcomes

Although the most common outcome is that corrections are required before you can be awarded an MPhil (or occasionally an outright pass), it is also possible that you may be asked to  Revise and Resubmit  your thesis for a new examination. In rare cases, outright failure is a possible outcome. You can find the full list of potential outcomes in the  Code of Practice .

After degree approval

After your MPhil, including any corrections required, has been approved by the Degree Committee, you will be notified by the Graduate Studies Office, by email, within a few days of the Degree Committee meeting. You can then  make arrangements  to attend a congregation, or have your degree awarded  in absentia .

School of Chinese, University of Hong Kong

Writing the M.Phil. Thesis

(August 2009)

The following are a series of observations and bits of advice I compiled for a brief talk in a seminar on research methods for M.Phil. students in 2008. I thought it would be more helpful to post them here. These points were originally intended primarily for masters-level students in Hong Kong who are working in philosophy. Some of them will not be relevant to doctoral students, to students from other places, or to those in other fields.

Postgraduate Study

Postgraduate study is different from undergraduate study. It is not “school” anymore. It is your job. Unlike all your previous years of education, from primary school to university, you are now a professional student. So you should devote the same amount of time and effort to studying and research that you would devote to a new career in any other field.

Accordingly, you should do everything you can to improve your philosophical knowledge and ability. Even if you plan to finish your studies after the MPhil and not continue on with the PhD, you will benefit greatly as a person if you work very hard. Make a habit of seeking out professors and other students for regular discussion. Put your full effort into each course paper and presentation. The skills you develop in critical thinking, data gathering and analysis, writing, and oral presentation will be useful in almost anything you do later.

Undertaking Research

Many students go through university without learning to skim a paper or book to find the main ideas and arguments. Learn to skim. Then you can judge whether you need to reread more carefully, because the material is directly relevant to what you are working on, or whether you can set the material aside for later or just consider it background reading.

On the other hand, you should reread sources most relevant to your research several times to be sure you fully understand all the details of the arguments.

Be attentive to different writers’ basic assumptions, how they frame the issues they discuss, what they emphasize and what they overlook, and other “implicit” aspects of their work. You may discover problems not just in their reasoning, but in how they formulate the issues and problems they discuss.

When working with original sources, as you will be in doing Chinese philosophy, do not assume that someone else’s interpretation of the source material is reliable. Read the original sources carefully, formulate your own interpretation, and identify and critically examine the reasons for your interpretation. Then see if you agree with others.

In working on Chinese philosophy, be cautious about hypotheses concerning similarities and differences between the Chinese discourse and, for example, Greek philosophy or contemporary Western philosophy. There are many fundamental differences between Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy; there are also many subtle similarities. A correct account of the similarities and differences will be nuanced and piecemeal.

Preparing for the Thesis

You need to strike a balance in your background reading. You don’t want to read too much, or you’ll spend all your time reading and never get around to writing your own paper. On the other hand, you don’t want to read too little, or you may overlook important research relevant to your project. The amount of background reading appropriate for MPhil students is different from that expected of PhD students, who should try to read just about everything in their immediate field. Consult your supervisor early to draw up a reading list together, and be sure to ask other professors and students if they know of interesting new books or articles related to your research area.

One especially helpful approach is to find recent anthologies of articles focused on specific fields or issues, in which different scholars present a range of contrasting views. Such sources often will introduce most or all of the current views in some subfield, allowing you to quickly identify what views you need to take account of and whether you tend to agree or disagree with them. The footnotes in such anthologies will often lead you to most of the key recent works in a subfield.

To get started with your reading, try one or two general introductions, one or two anthologies of wide scope, an anthology or two of narrower scope, and selected important papers that the writers of the anthologies cite or your supervisor recommends.

Philosophy is such a vast field that you cannot and do not need to read everything about your topic. You must be selective, concentrating on works of high quality and high relevance to your research. (Again, expectations on this point are different for MPhil and PhD students. PhD students should read much more.)

If you are as yet unsure of your topic, start by doing some reading in a general field that interests you. Then pick out a topic in that field that catches your interest. Next, pick out a specific question or problem. Then try formulate a view of your own about it.

Do not fall victim to “scholasticism,” an epidemic among academics in some fields. A postgrad student with a bad case of scholasticism is one who thinks that 95% of her work should be devoted to explaining what other people have said about some issue. The point of philosophical research is to make an original contribution to your field, not just to repeat what others have said.

Choosing a Thesis Topic

Don’t be too ambitious. A thesis with a fairly narrow scope will make your work easier. On the other hand, don’t set your goals too low, either. An MPhil thesis should cover more material and defend broader, deeper claims than a term paper does. The appropriate scope of your thesis and its central claims is among the important issues that you should discuss with your supervisor.

Select a topic relevant to interesting work in your subfield over the past ten years or so. This may be a topic others have treated or a novel topic that you can show is relevant.

If you are working in a department of philosophy, choose a topic that will be philosophically interesting according to standards recognized by mainstream philosophers. A basic requirement for a philosophy thesis is that it explain how the topic and the writer’s claims about it are philosophically significant, in a way that most philosophers can understand even if they themselves don’t work on that topic. This point is particularly important if you are working on Chinese philosophy, where there is an unfortunate tendency to work exclusively on interpretive, historical, or philological issues instead of philosophical ones.

Two common approaches to a thesis topic are a “figure-oriented” approach, in which the thesis is devoted mainly to studying the thought of some important thinker, and an “issue-oriented” approach, in which the thesis is devoted to examining one or more philosophical issues and defending a claim about them. (Often the two approaches will overlap.) Both approaches are acceptable, but I strongly recommend the issue-oriented approach. That is, instead of writing a thesis about Philosopher X’s view of Y, write a thesis about what you think might be the correct view of Y, with chapters about the views of Philosopher X and others.

Writing the Thesis

The two most important bits of advice for writing a good thesis are: start early and revise your writing repeatedly.

Set up a work schedule and try to stick to it. Inevitably, you will fall behind after a while. When you do, revise your schedule and continue with the new schedule.

Use your schedule and your outline (see next item) to divide your project into small, manageable parts. Writing a thesis can be intimidating. By breaking it down into parts, you increase your sense of control over the project. You will obtain a feeling of step-by-step achievement and progress as you complete each of the parts.

Plan your thesis in detail using an outline. Clearly state all arguments, all premises in the arguments, and all subarguments for the premises. (Some students are unclear what exactly an outline is. Here is an example of an outline for a short philosophy essay. An outline presents the content of the paper according to a hierarchical structure. It is not just a list of points.)

Don’t assume that you know what you’re going to say in your thesis until you have actually written an outline or even a first draft. Many philosophers modify aspects of their position during the process of writing a paper, thesis, or book. It is often difficult to evaluate your own view until you have it all written out in some detail, and the writing process often helps you discover problems in your view. So give yourself plenty of time to write, evaluate what you’ve written, and revise.

Writing a paper or thesis typically takes three or four times as much time as you think it will. If you think you can write your thesis in two months, then to be safe you should plan to take six months or more.

The first several drafts of almost anything you write will be typically be 25% longer than needed to support the points you need to make. During the revision process, try to cut 25% of the words in your original draft. Concise writing makes your work easier to read. As a result, others will read your work more carefully and give you more insightful comments.

An important exception to the above rule: Sometimes your supervisor or other readers will point out that you’ve neglected to explain a point or support some claim adequately. In such cases, you will need to expand, rather than reduce, the length of your original draft.

Write "preventively." By that, I mean write in such a way that your points will be clear to and cannot be misunderstood even by readers who have no time to think about what you say, are too ignorant to see the implications of your arguments, and so unsympathetic that they will interpret what you say in the least plausible way.

Learn the proper use of punctuation in English, the standard way to format a paper, and the proper format for citing sources.

For further advice on philosophical writing, see this page .

Evaluating Theses

When I evaluate an MPhil thesis, I look for the following points. Make sure your work satisfies these requirements.

You must identify and formulate a philosophically significant issue. The first few pages of the thesis should clearly state what specific issue or subject the thesis is about and explain why it is important. In other words, tell readers what are you going to talk about and why we should care about it.

The main claim or thesis of the work should be stated clearly in the Introduction, preferably within the first three pages or so. The thesis is the main point of the whole work—the central claim that you will argue for. 

The thesis must demonstrate a grasp of relevant primary and secondary literature.

You must explain what original contribution your work makes to philosophical discourse. For an MPhil thesis, the contribution can be minor, but the work must offer something original. A brief version of this explanation should appear in your Introduction, with a more detailed version in the body of the thesis and a review in the Conclusion.

Give good arguments to support your main claims and show why they are more persuasive than alternative views.

Identify weaknesses in your own claims and arguments and explain why these are not so serious that the claims and arguments are unsupportable.

Most Cambridge MPhils have taught elements and you will be part of a cohort of students, although a few are research programmes examined by thesis and oral only.

Nearly all MPhils with taught elements are one-year full-time courses. It is also possible to study a small number of MPhils part-time over two years.

MPhils are assessed in a variety of ways: these can include essays of 3,000 - 10,000 words; perhaps a dissertation; possibly a timed examination; and in some cases an oral examination on your coursework and/or dissertation and the field of knowledge in which it falls.

Both types of MPhil provide an excellent transition to full-scale PhD research. They introduce you to research skills and specialist knowledge, and an MPhil dissertation may be a valuable introductory experience in the preparation of and work on a research dissertation. In fact, in some subjects, an MPhil is a prerequisite for continuing on to research work.

There is no automatic continuation from an MPhil to a PhD - an application must be made to 'continue', and a suitable supervisor must be identified. If an offer of admission to the PhD is made, it will be conditional on your performance in the MPhil, as well as on providing evidence of your ability to fund your PhD studies. Other conditions may also be specified.

MPhil students are required to submit two essays and a dissertation. Each of them must be on a topic approved by the Degree Committee that falls within one of the specified subject areas . The essays should be on topics from two different subject areas.

You are encouraged to explore a range of different topics, balancing them so that they are both relevant to your interests and also span the subject of History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine. We offer some advice on how to pick a manageable topic here:

You are permitted to write your dissertation in the same general area as one of your essays, but the dissertation and essay must address different questions, and the dissertation must show evidence of a substantial new research effort. Any use of the essay in the dissertation has to be appropriately referenced, just like any other primary or secondary source, as if the essay were written by a different person.

Similarly, if an essay or dissertation builds on previously examined, graded or published work it is essential that this is clearly identified in the text and is appropriately referenced, as if it were written by a different person. The assessors should be in no doubt as to what work you have completed in your current degree course and it is this that will be assessed.

Finding a supervisor

The Department publishes a list of members of the Department and associates who are willing to supervise MPhil essays and dissertations, together with the topics on which they are prepared to supervise. You are not permitted to work with the same supervisor for more than two pieces of coursework.

Dissertation and essay supervisors

Your supervisors will see you on a very regular basis, but it is up to you to schedule those meetings according to your needs. As a rule of thumb, you can expect the following supervisions:

• 3 for each essay;
• 4 for the dissertation.

If you would like to work with an external supervisor – someone who is not a member of the Department – you must obtain permission from the MPhil Manager.

Topic forms

Online topic forms for the essays and dissertation will be available on Moodle .

You should complete each form by stating the topic of the essay or dissertation, selecting one of the ten subject areas , and entering the name of your supervisor.

The deadline for completing each form is shown on key dates and deadlines .

Changing the topic, subject area or supervisor

Once the Degree Committee has approved the topic, subject area and supervisor for an essay or dissertation, you must apply for permission if you want to change any of them. Permission is not automatically granted. See key dates and deadlines for the last dates for changing topics.

To change the topic, subject area or supervisor, you should complete the request form . The request must be approved by the MPhil Manager.

The University and the Department of History and Philosophy of Science take plagiarism very seriously. Please read our advice about what plagiarism is and how to avoid it.

Plagiarism guidelines

The Department uses the text-matching software Turnitin UK to blanket screen all student work submitted in Moodle.

Use of Turnitin UK

Referencing

For guidance about using correct and consistent referencing, see this page:

Human participants

If you are planning to collect data from human participants, or use data collected from human participants, you will need to plan well in advance to ensure that you have obtained ethical approval before starting work on your project and have given consideration to how you are going to handle the information you collect.

Working with human participants: ethical approval and data protection

Examined work should be uploaded to the 'HPS MPhil Coursework' site on Moodle before 12noon on the day of the deadline. Paper copies are not required.

Please note:

• The work should have numbered pages, footnotes and a bibliography.
• You cannot upload more than one file for each submission.
• The following file formats are accepted: DOC, DOCX, PDF, RTF.

The essays and dissertation will be marked anonymously, so it is important that your name does not appear anywhere on them.

Please give the following information on the first page:

• Subject area (the same as the one you selected on your topic form)

You are advised to check your email the day after you have submitted to ensure there are no queries about your work.

The Senior Examiner will advise the Examiners' Meeting of any late submissions and, unless there are exceptional circumstances, this will normally entail the cumulative loss of marks for each day's lateness beyond the published deadline: i.e. within one day, one mark will be deducted; within two days, two additional marks will be deducted (making three marks in total); within three days, an additional three marks will be deducted (making six marks in total), etc. Given that problems can and do occur (such as computers crashing), students are advised that their work should be ready almost a week in advance of the formal deadline.

Please note that the Department will retain a copy of your dissertation and essays and may make them available to future students unless you make a written request to the contrary to the Departmental Administrator.

All requests for an extension to the submission date for coursework must have a good reason and must be supported by a College Tutor and Course Manager. You are advised to discuss potential extension requests with the Course Manager before submitting a formal application.

Where an extension is granted, the deadline is 12noon on the new date.

For an extension of up to seven days the student should complete the coursework extension self-certification form .

For an extension longer than seven days the student should download and complete the extension form . The form must then be signed by the College Tutor and the Course Manager.

Students are reminded that extensions are not cost free : they reduce the amount of time you can devote to subsequent pieces of work, limit opportunities for you to receive feedback and participate in other aspects of the course, and may delay the approval of your degree. A granted extension does not mean that your supervisor will be available beyond term time.

The word limit is:

• 5,000 words for Essay 1
• 8,000 words for Essay 2
• 12,000 words for the Dissertation

This includes footnotes but excludes the bibliography and prefatory matter.

Figures may be included in the work and should contribute to the argument. They should be captioned only so as to specify the source; such captions are excluded from the word count. Formulae may be used where appropriate and are also excluded from the word count.

The word limit is strictly enforced. Each piece of work will be inspected to ensure that the word limit has been respected. If work is over the limit, the candidate will be asked to revise the work so that it does conform to the word limit. Given that the inspection will take place at the time of the deadline, the rule governing penalties for late submission will be applied (i.e. if the revised work is submitted within one day, one mark will be deducted; within two days, two marks will be deducted, etc).

The Department uses Microsoft Word to check word counts. If you use coding software, such as LaTeX, you should be aware that this software may give a different word count. You may find it helpful to use TeXcount , an online tool that analyses LaTeX code to provide an accurate count of words, formulae, captions and footnotes. If using software other than Microsoft Word you should submit a screenshot to demonstrate the word count from the software used.

Policy on data, editions, translations and bibliographies

An essay or dissertation should be self-contained, including or citing all information needed for an examiner to follow its argument.

The word limit normally includes text and footnotes but not the bibliography. However, in certain cases permission may be obtained for materials relevant to the argument of the essay or dissertation to be submitted for the information of the examiners in the form of an appendix, with such materials excluded from the word count. Materials falling into this category may include primary source materials (texts and images) that are not readily accessible, transcriptions, translations, questionnaire responses, statistical tables, formal proofs, technical descriptions of objects, analytical bibliographies and other data produced by the candidate that they wish to make accessible.

Conversely, material contributing to the word count should normally consist of the candidate's own discussion and analysis of such materials. Exceptionally, when a critical edition or translation, a formal proof, an analytical bibliography, or a technical description of objects and their provenances is based on substantial original scholarship and cannot be easily separated from the argument of an essay or dissertation, permission may be obtained for it to be included within the body of the essay or dissertation, hence contributing to the word count. No more than one third of an essay or dissertation should consist of such material.

Applications for such permissions should be sought, in consultation with the supervisor, from the Senior Examiner via the MPhil Managers.

Feedback to MPhil students

During the course of their studies, students receive feedback in person from their supervisors, and from the Course Manager, as well as from termly online supervision reports. Essay 1 is examined prior to the end of the Michaelmas Term in order to provide students with early feedback on their performance so they can gauge the level of achievement which the course requires, and so they have reliable pointers as to future applications for the PhD, whose deadlines are often early in the academic year. Essay 2 is examined at the start of Easter Term, and feedback is given on this shortly afterwards together with a provisional overall mark for the essay component of the course.

After each Board of Examiners meeting, the MPhil Managers meet with students, report the provisional agreed class and provide copies of the non-confidential parts of the reports. At these meetings the work is discussed and assessors' remarks are put in context for future work. Students may contact their supervisor after this meeting if they want to discuss the reports in more detail.

Marks are subject to moderation up until the final Board of Examiners meeting, and require approval by the Degree Committee in late June. At the end of the course a transcript with details of individual marks will be available on CamSIS.

Feedback on the overall performance of each year is provided by Senior and External Examiners' Reports which are submitted at the end of the year. Students may find it useful to see examiners' comments on the previous year's work, particularly mark distributions and recommendations.

MPhil Thesis

Topic and supervisor.

It is important to get a thesis supervisor (in Dutch: a promotor ) as early as possible. A detailed list has been compiled of staff members, their areas of specialisation, and possible thesis topics they would be willing to supervise. The list is yearly updated:

• the possible research topics listed alphabetically by research centres for 2017-2018 (PDF, 446 KB, version 09/10/17) 

Students are strongly encouraged to consult this list when choosing the topic of their thesis and the supervisor. It is also very important that the student meets with her/his supervisor regularly. If the student fails to report to the supervisor's satisfaction, the supervisor can refuse to continue, if s/he so chooses.

The student needs to choose the topic and the supervisor and submit to the Education and Students Office, the  Thesis Report 1: Outline , signed by the supervisor, at latest by 15 November (see below, under Progress Report).

Profile of a Good Thesis Supervisor and a good Thesis Student

This profile describes what a student may and may not expect from a good supervisor and what a supervisor may expect from a good thesis student. In case of serious problems the Education Ombudsperson is the contact person.

Practical Guidelines

As part of the MPhil Thesis requirement, students must attend the thesis workshop and the thesis fair at the beginning of the academic year, as well as the library session   and the workshop on delivering a presentation (see the calendar for the times and dates). Students should also consult:

• the summary of the MPhilThesis requirements, submission, defence, evaluation criteria and grading scale
• the detailed guidelines with practical tips and techniques
• the 7 steps to complete the thesis on time
• adequate source references for correct referencing

MPhil Thesis Title Page Template

Students are required to include the title page in their thesis. Download the Title Page Template , save it on your computer and fill in the text.

Progress Reporting

The following two forms have to be submitted as part of MPhil Thesis requirement. Both reports have to be signed and submitted to the Education and Students Office by given deadlines. For both reports there is a double deadline: At latest 2 weeks before you submit the report to the Education and Students Office you have to submit the report first to the supervisor, which will give him/her time to make suggestions on your report which you will have time to implement. The deadlines for submission must be strictly observed. .

Thesis Report 1: Outline

This report includes include a title, name of the supervisor, brief description of the thesis (max. 1 A4 page), essential bibliography (max. 1 A4 page), a provisional table of contents, and a work plan, as well as the student’s name, email address and indication of which enrolment of the student for the thesis it is.

'Thesis Report 1: Outline' form (Word) . You save the form on your computer, fill it and print 3 copies (one for your supervisor, one for the Education and Students Office, one for yourself).

Deadline for submission of draft report to the supervisor:  31 October 2017

Deadline for submission of the singed report to the Education and Students Office: 15 November 2017  

Thesis Report 2: Progress Report

In this report you need to explain what progress you have made on your thesis and what your next plans are for research and writing, in line with a realistic work form. You also need to indicate whether you have already submitted parts of the thesis to your supervisor as well as in which exam session you are planning to submit your thesis

'Thesis Report 2: Progress Report' form (Word) . You save the form on your computer, fill it and print 3 copies (one for your supervisor, one for the Education and Students Office, one for yourself).

Deadline for submission of draft report to the supervisor: 15 February 2018

Deadline for submission of the singed report to the Education and Students Office:  1 March 2018

The aim of this double deadline is to give the supervisor chance to give you feedback on your work as well as to give you possibility to adjust your research work and the report based on this feedback.  

Specific guidelines for students enrolled in the thesis year:

For students enrolled in the thesis year apply the same deadlines like for regular students.

If you continue working on the same subject with the same supervisor, please use the specific form:  'Thesis Year Progress Report' (Word) .

You can change the topic and the supervisor only with permission of the Programme Director. In this case, please use the regular form for the 'Thesis Report 1: Outline' (Word) .

Report 2: Progress Report

The same instructions like for students enrolled for the first time for the thesis.  

WARNING: Keep in mind that you can enroll for the MPhil thesis max. three times (so in three academic years). The fourth registration for the MPhil thesis is always refused.

Formal Criteria Checklist

Before you submit the thesis, you need to check the MPhil Thesis Formal Criteria Checklist (Word, 54.1 kB) to make sure your thesis meets all the formal criteria. Please note you need to submit 3 filled in, printed and signed copies of this checklist, together with the thesis (not bound but inserted to the thesis), to the Student Secretiariat.

Keep in mind: No submission deadline extension will be allowed if your thesis does not comply with the criteria upon submission! (Or in other words: you will be not allowed to resubmit the thesis ‘a few hours’ later if upon submission you ‘discover’ you forgot about the checklist and your thesis has no page numbers, e.g. In this case, you will need to submit the thesis anyhow and you will fill in the checklist in our office).

Submission of the Thesis

By the deadlines listed above the student:

• submits 3 printed and bound copies of the thesis to the Education and Students Office. (It is recommended that you have 4 copies printed and bound since you will also need a copy at the defence.)
• submits 3 filled in, printed and signed copies of the Formal Criteria Checklist (see above) to the Education and Students Office (not bound but inserted to the thesis).
• uploads the thesis electronically (as a PDF file) in KU Loket
• enters the following metadata via KU Loket : language (English), title, supervisor, number of pages and summary (abstract)
• There is a manual   and a FAQ's page for the KU Loket application Master's Thesis .
• A  thesis that is not submitted as required (as set out above), by the deadline (date and time), will not be accepted for submission.
• All theses submitted via KU Loket will be automatically uploaded in Turnitin (software system for plagiarism check). It is no longer required that you upload your thesis in Turnitin yourself.

On the basis of the thesis topic, the Vice Dean for Education and the Director of the International Programme assign two additional thesis readers.

The thesis supervisor and readers evaluate the thesis. During the last week of the exam session (and after the other exams), a thesis defence is held, at which the student has the opportunity to further clarify her/his methods and findings in discussion with the supervisor and the readers. For the defense dates, see above. The details of each defence (such as the reader, time and place) are announced one week before the defence date. Organisation of defence is explained in detail under ‘Summary’ (please see above).

The jury members each give a grade (on a scale of 20) on the basis of the quality of the thesis text and of the defence; the three grades are averaged for the final grade. The MPhil thesis has the weight of 24 credits in calculation of the overall percentage for the programme. Detailed evaluation criteria are available under ‘Summary’ (please see above).

Not passing for the MPhil Thesis (the averaged grade) means not passing for the programme as such .

• Plagiarism : definition, examples, sanctions, strategies to avoid plagiarism...

• The MPhil code of practice is  here .
• MPhil students may also find it useful to refer to CamGuides . This is  is a free online resource for all Master’s students with a taught element, designed as an introduction to some of the academic, digital and research practices that they will engage in at the University of Cambridge. It encourages students to think about ways they can prepare for their Master’s degree before it starts. CamGuides does not need raven access and students will have access to the resource throughout their time in Cambridge.
• Sources of advice and support can be found here.

MPhil students are assigned an MPhil advisor who oversees their studies during the course. The advisor and student will discuss essay topics and potential supervisors. The advisor is the student's first port of call for questions related to the course.

Coursework Overview

MPhil candidates are examined on one essay of not more than 4,000 words (including footnotes but excluding bibliography), an essay of not more than 8,000 words (including footnotes but excluding bibliography), and a dissertation of not more than 12,000 words (including footnotes and appendices but excluding bibliography), all on subjects which must first be approved by the Degree Committee. There are some restrictions on topics – see MPhil course structure for details – but students have a great deal of freedom to select topics of interest to them. There are also deadlines for submission and changing of titles. 

Where deadlines are marked '*' below, see the Postgraduate Calendar on the Philosophy website for the exact dates

The first essay is submitted by the end of Michaelmas Term *. Students consult with their Advisors at the start of Michaelmas Term (and by the end of week 1 at the latest) to arrange a topic and a supervisor for this first essay. In case of any doubt, students should consult the MPhil Course Director. Students receive a mark for the first essay and any feedback and guidance which may seem appropriate at that stage, before Christmas. 

The second essay is submitted in the last week of Lent Term*. Students are strongly advised to meet with their Lent Term essay supervisor(s) before they depart for the Christmas break. 

Before starting work on an essay, students should discuss the suitability of the topic with the essay supervisor (who may or may not be the Advisor). Students submit the first essay title to the Postgraduate Administrator at the beginning of the sixth week of Michaelmas Term*, and submit the second essay title in the first week of Lent Term*. These go to the Degree Committee for approval. Minor amendments to titles of second essays may be accepted until the beginning of the sixth week of term*.

When choosing essay titles, students should keep in mind that the title's main function is to enable the Degree Committee to select suitable examiners. Titles should be direct and specific enough to serve this purpose (without, e.g. misleading witticisms), but not so specific that they make it difficult to make some change of focus. (For example: 'Leibniz' is too vague; 'Leibniz on contingency' is fine; 'Two meanings of "analytic" in Leibniz and how the distinction between them helps us to defend his views on contingency' is probably too specific.) Once a title has been agreed, students can add a subtitle, but the examiners will assess the essay for relevance in relation to the agreed title, not the subtitle.

There is no formal limit on the amount of supervision a student may have on an MPhil essay. The decision on how much to provide rests with supervisors. However, you may expect to receive a total of about 4 hours of supervision for each essay in total. A typical and reasonable supervising schedule would be as follows:

-An initial meeting with the supervisor for orientation, general advice, guidance on reading

-Three further supervisions (comments on preliminary reading and an outline; comments on and discussion of a first draft, with advice for possible improvement; and further comments on a revised draft)

The student would then submit the final version without further supervision.

Titles of MPhil dissertations need to be submitted for approval shortly before the beginning of Easter Term* (with minor amendments possible up to the third week of Easter Term*). Dissertation topics should be chosen carefully, and after consulting the dissertation supervisor. As in the case of essays, students are advised not to be too general or too specific, and choose a title that makes it straightforward for the Degree Committee to appoint suitable examiners.

MPhil candidates hoping to continue to a PhD will often choose essay and dissertation topics with an eye to their proposed PhD research. But students should not be tempted to make the MPhil dissertations too ambitious: students should bear in mind that there is a strict word limit (12,000 words), and a strict submission deadline at the end of Easter Term*. Students should note that no significant part of an MPhil dissertation may be incorporated as it stands in a PhD thesis, although it may of course form the basis for new work.

The MPhil dissertation will be submitted at the end of Easter Term*. 

Please note that it is a University regulation that work already submitted for a degree outside Cambridge cannot then be submitted for a Cambridge degree ( https://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/univ/so/pdfs/2020/ordinance07.pdf#page=69 ). If students are in any doubt about this, please consult Advisors, or the Supervisor for the piece of work in question.

• How to submit (titles and work) - You must submit your proposed essay and dissertation titles via email to the MPhil Course Director via the Postgraduate Administrator ( [email protected] ) by the deadlines in the PG Calendar. No amendments can be granted to the title of your first essay. Once the MPhil Course Director has approved your title, you will receive an email from the PG Administrator confirming that your title has been approved. If, however, the MPhil Course Director cannot approve your title, for example because there is some ambiguity, you will also receive communication from the PG Administrator asking you to reconsider and resubmit an amended title. It should be stressed that approval of titles is not a pure formality. Students who start work on their essays/dissertation before the titles have been approved, do so entirely at their own risk. If in doubt, consult the MPhil Course Director (via the PG Administrator) early about the suitability of titles.  Essays and dissertations should be submitted via Moodle , the Learning Platform used by the University. Further details on the process for submitting work via Moodle will be sent to candidates by the Postgraduate Administrator. 
• Presentation guidelines - MPhil essays and dissertations must be typed in English, use footnotes rather than endnotes, have numbered pages and properly acknowledge sources of information in notes and a bibliography. You must acknowledge all sources of information, including unpublished ideas and suggestions, e.g. from your supervisor. For essays students are not required to submit a cover sheet or a separate title page. Essays are subject to anonymous marking. Please save essays just using the title of the essay (no reference to student names or student number). Students should not include their name anywhere within the text of the essay. For dissertations, it is usual for your examiners to conduct a viva with you, so marking will not be anonymous. For the dissertation only therefore, student names should be marked clearly on a front sheet and students must incorporate the Student Registry ‘Declaration in the Preface’ (please follow the instructions here  https://www.cambridgestudents.cam.ac.uk/your-course/examinations/graduate-exam-information/submitting-and-examination/mphilmres ).  The Faculty's presentation guidelines for postgraduate students can be found here  .   
• Wordcounts - MPhil candidates are examined on one essay in Michaelmas Term of not more than 4,000 words (including footnotes but excluding bibliography), an essay in Lent Term of not more than 8,000 words (including footnotes but excluding bibliography), and a dissertation in Easter Term of not more than 12,000 words (including footnotes and appendices but excluding bibliography) Please note that the word limit (including footnotes and appendices but excluding bibliography) for both essays and the dissertation will be strictly applied . Examiners may decline to read any material in excess of it. For both essays and the dissertation, candidates are required to include a statement of the word length at the end of their piece of submitted work, before the bibliography. In addition, the word count will be verified by the Postgraduate Administrator, when candidates submit their essays and dissertation.
• Coursework deadlines - can be found in the Postgraduate Calendar .  Please note that submission deadlines for essays and the dissertation are taken very seriously. In the absence of mitigating circumstances, late submission will attract a penalty of five marks for every working day, or proportion of this for part of a day.
• Extensions - We recognise that sometimes students will need to seek an extension to the submission deadline. Students seeking an extension should contact the Postgraduate Administrator and the MPhil Course Director in the first instance.
• Students with Student Support Documents outlining their access and reasonable adjustments requirements may request extensions if needed, and are invited to discuss which accommodations they require with the MPhil Course Director. 
• Short extensions of up to 5 days can be granted by the MPhil Course Director. Students will be required to confirm that they have informed their College Tutor of the extension. Students may self-certify the reasons for these short extensions and are not required to supply supporting documentation. 
• Extensions longer than 5 days: the MPhil Course Director will request that the student provides supporting documentation from a medical/welfare professional or from the student's College Tutor. The request will be considered by Degree Committee. The length of extensions may be constrained by the dates by which marks have to be approved. Students will be informed if an extension may lead to a delay in the date of their graduation. 
• Students are advised that extensions are more administratively straightforward for the Michaelmas and Lent Term essays, as short extensions there are unlikely to affect the timing of the student's graduation. For the dissertation, extensions are also possible, but extensions of longer than 5 days are likely to affect the timing of the viva, receipt of marks, and graduation. Further information about this extensions can be found on this webpage:  https://www.cambridgestudents.cam.ac.uk/your-course/postgraduate-study/y...
• Plagiarism/academic misconduct - The Faculty's policy on plagiarism/academic misconduct can be found here .  The University’s definition of academic misconduct, including plagiarism, can be found here . MPhil students will be asked to check a box confirming that they have read the University’s definition of academic misconduct when they submit MPhil coursework via Moodle. Students should be aware that the University has the right to use text-matching software to verify the originality of work submitted at any time during the MPhil course. It is the Faculty’s policy to routinely check work submitted for plagiarism .
• Assessment of MPhil essays and dissertations - please see the following:

                     Marking Criteria for the MPhil    

• Data retention policy for the MPhil can be found here

Examples of previous MPhil essays and dissertations

Previous examples can be found here

There is a weekly seminar for MPhil students, at which they present and discuss their work. The seminar focusses on developing presentation and discussion skills, as well as introducing students to a wide range of philosophical topics. All MPhil students are expected to attend this seminar every week and a register will be taken.

The Faculty also arranges other seminars especially for postgraduate students, including a postgraduate seminar, run by PhD students with no academics attending, fortnightly throughout the academic year.

Postgraduate students are encouraged to attend upper-level Tripos lectures and any other seminars (across Faculties) that are relevant to their work, please consult your Advisor for advice on which to attend.

Postgraduate students are strongly encouraged to attend the Moral Sciences Club , which meets weekly in term to discuss papers normally given by visiting philosophers. Similar meetings are organised in other Faculties (e.g. the 'D' Society for the philosophy of religion).

The lecture list including MPhil seminars can be found here.  The  University Timetable  allows you to construct your own online timetable. Reading lists and handouts for lectures and course readings will be located on the relevant paper's moodle page. 

Oral Examination -Viva

MPhil candidates will have an oral examination (‘viva’), on a date to be arranged with them by the Examiners in the week following submission of the MPhil dissertations. Candidates should therefore ensure that they are available for the whole viva period*, excluding the weekend. (The Examiners may in exceptional circumstances waive the oral examination, but candidates must not assume that they will.) If a candidate would like to request adjustments to their viva on the grounds of disability, they should complete a ‘voluntary disclosure form’ and return this to the postgraduate administrator. The form can be found here: https://www.cambridgestudents.cam.ac.uk/files/voluntary_disclosure_form.pdf

The main purpose of the viva is to test the depth of the candidate’s understanding of the issues discussed in the dissertation, and surrounding issues. The viva will usually concentrate on the dissertation, but it may also include questions on the general area of philosophy in which it falls. 

Students should bring a copy of the dissertation to the viva in case the examiners wish to ask about specific passages in it. 

MPhil vivas typically last around an hour, although some may be significantly shorter or longer than this. 

For further information about the viva, see the MPhil Examining Procedures here:

https://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/mphil-examining-procedures

MPhil candidates will be told the their final result as soon as possible after their Examiners’ reports have been considered by the Degree Committee at its meeting in late June/early July*. Students will also be able to view their dissertation and overall mark via their CamSIS self service.

The final congregation (graduation ceremony) of the academic year is usually on the third Friday or Saturday in July*. Further information on ceremony dates can be found here . Those hoping to graduate in July should contact the Praelector of their College in early June to check the ceremony date for their College and reserve a place.

We ask MPhil students to provide their feedback at regular intervals throughout the MPhil course, in the form of a questionnaire sent from the Postgraduate Office. Usually there is one questionnaire sent per term. Feedback from students is important in helping us to improve the course, and we ask that all students complete all questionnaires.

MPhil students may apply to continue as PhD candidates. If you are interested in doing so, you should discuss this with your Advisor early in Michaelmas Term, and also notify the Postgraduate Secretary, to ensure that you don’t miss the relevant application and funding deadlines. You will need to complete an online application via the admissions portal, similar to the one you completed in applying for the MPhil. It is available from the Postgraduate Admissions website:

https://www.postgraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/portal/continuer

The deadline will be in early December* or Mid-October if you are a student from the US who wishes to apply for Gates funding. The application requires a research proposal of 500 words, two references, and two writing samples. One of these writing samples should be something produced on the MPhil course (typically a version of your first essay), while the other maybe one of the samples you submitted in applying for the MPhil. Please discuss your research proposal with your potential PhD supervisor before submitting it, and talk to your Advisor about the whole application.

Please note that admission to the PhD is not an automatic consequence of successful completion of the MPhil. The Faculty receives many more applications for the PhD than it is able to accept, and can admit only a minority of qualified candidates. The Degree Committee makes a judgement on each individual case, taking into consideration all the evidence it has available about the suitability of the candidate to complete a thesis on the proposed topic. Ordinarily, several conditions need to be satisfied before the Degree Committee will recommend that an MPhil candidate proceed to work for the PhD. These are necessary but not sufficient conditions:

(i) If you are offered a PhD place it may be conditional on your achieving a specified mark in the MPhil as a whole. Typically, candidates who successfully proceed to the PhD will be those who are achieving marks for the essays and dissertation of 70 or better, although you will not yet know any of your marks at the time you apply to the PhD.

(ii) In addition to satisfactory marks in the MPhil a candidate needs to show an ability to generate and to develop original ideas. (The MPhil marking criteria indicate that it is possible to obtain quite good marks without showing any substantial originality.)

(iii) A candidate who is to be accepted for the PhD needs to produce an acceptable research proposal.

(iv)    The Faculty needs to be confident that it can provide proper supervision for the candidate's proposed research.

If you are an MPhil candidate who is then accepted into the PhD programme, and if your PhD research is suitably related to your MPhil work, you will usually be allowed to count some or all of your three MPhil terms towards the residency requirements of the PhD, if you are ready to submit your thesis before the minimum terms of study have elapsed. This means that you may submit a PhD thesis after only six more terms, if you wish. Please see the following webpage for further information:

The MPhil and MRes degree may be examined by thesis only or by a combination of dissertation, exams, coursework, projects, reports, seminars and essays. Students on taught courses should consult their Department's guidance on submission and presentation requirements.

Information for students on research Masters by thesis courses can be found below.

When do I need to submit my thesis for examination?

You will have a date and time by which your thesis must be submitted - please contact your Department or Degree Committee if you do not know what your deadline is. 

How do I present my thesis?

You must submit an electronic copy of your thesis for examination, and any required accompanying documents, to your Degree Committee by your submission deadline. Your Degree Committee should provide you with guidance for electronic submission; please contact them directly if you require any assistance. You are required to submit your thesis by your deadline even if the date falls over a weekend or holiday period.

The thesis you submit to your Degree Committee will be the thesis submitted for examination. It is not possible to 'retract submission' or to send a revised copy directly to your examiners. Therefore you should carefully check the files you upload when submitting your thesis.

Postgraduate students must keep a minimum number of terms of research and terms of residence before they can submit their thesis. If you attempt to submit your thesis too early it will not be accepted.

What is required?

Your thesis must be a connected account of work, and must comply with the General and Special Regulations for the particular MPhil programme. Information about word limits and other requirements for the MPhil can be found in the General and Special Regulations for each degree, listed under the specific MPhil programme: Statutes and Ordinances: Chapter VII: Degrees, Diplomas, and other Qualifications . 

Word limits and stylistic requirements are strictly observed by the Postgraduate Committee and by Degree Committees and, unless approval to exceed the prescribed limit has been obtained beforehand, a thesis that exceeds the limit may not be examined until its length complies with the prescribed limit. Information on how to apply for an extension to the word-limit (via self-service account) is available on the ‘ Applying for a change in your student status’  page. You are advised to contact your Degree Committee prior to submitting an application. 

Inclusion of additional materials

Students must seek permission through their  CamSIS Self Service  page if they wish to submit additional materials for examination alongside their thesis. Additional materials are integral to the thesis but in a format that cannot be easily included in the main body of the thesis (for example, 3D graphics). You should refer to the ' Policy on the inclusion of additional materials with a thesis ' before making an application to include additional materials. This process should be initiated prior to the thesis submission. If a thesis is submitted with additional materials and without permission to include them, it will be held by the Degree Committee until approval is confirmed.

What format does my thesis have to be in?

The thesis must:

• be written in English, apart from quotations and recognised technical formulae
• be in A4 portrait format
• use one-and-a-half spaced type
• include any photographs or other illustrations scanned into the text
• be saved in the electronic format and naming style specified by your Degree Committee

Examiners are not expected to edit work. They will deal with errors of fact and typographical errors that affect the meaning of your work, as well as larger structural issues. The extent to which the text has or has not been properly prepared may influence their recommendation concerning award of the degree. You are therefore advised to check your thesis thoroughly prior to submission to ensure clear, formal English has been used throughout and that there are minimal typing and/or spelling mistakes.

What is needed to submit?

You must include the following inside your thesis:

• the full title of the thesis
• your full name (as it appears on your passport)
• your College
• the date of your submission (month and year, optional)
• and a Declaration stating:  This thesis is submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy.
• This thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text.
• Where appropriate, a Statement of Length stating that the thesis does not exceed the prescribed word limit for the [insert relevant] Degree Committee.

3. [if applicable] the list of additional materials that were approved for submission alongside the thesis

Your Degree Committee will advise if any additional documents, such as a declaration form, are required.

Research Impact Statement: If pandemic, war/conflict, or natural disaster have significantly impacted on your research, you are invited to submit a Research Impact Statement with your thesis using the template provided. The purpose of the statement is for you to describe any restrictions or difficulties experienced in undertaking your research as a result of pandemic, war/conflict, or natural disaster, and to provide details of any alternative arrangements made to complete the work for your thesis. Further details for students and supervisors can be found in the Research Impact Statement guidance  and the Research Impact Statement form can be downloaded here .

I have submitted my thesis for examination to the Degree Committee, what happens next?

When you submit your thesis the Degree Committee will check it is complete, acknowledge receipt, and then forward your thesis on to your examiners. If you have not received confirmation of the date of your oral examination within six weeks of submitting your thesis, contact your Degree Committee. Any questions with regard to your thesis at this stage should be directed to the Degree Committee.

Your Examiners should not ask you for a printed copy of your thesis or other material in advance of your oral examination.

Information about the oral examination can be found here .

When will I find out my examination result?

You will be notified of your result after your Degree Committee has met and considered the examination reports. Your Degree Committee will be able to provide you with their meeting dates. Please note that you will not be able to receive your degree certificate until you have had your degree conferred (awarded) at a degree ceremony/congregation, either in person or in absence.
