4/xi/19: Sections VIII.6
and IX.3.ii
have been updated to clarify that MoEYS regulations require that a student
writing their Master's Research Paper, thesis or dissertation must register and
pay the requisite fees for each and every term (including any term IIIs)
between completing their coursework and submitting the final product. This is to indicate their continuing
commitment to completing their degree: whilst they can take a Leave of Absence
(Section
VII.3), this is not recommended, since it is difficult to get back into
working on the research and/or its writing up.
22/xii/19: It is
clarified that letter-grades and thus the overall GPA only applies to classes
taken by graduate students.
-Thus students' performance in the Comprehensive Exam
and/or meeting other research-based requirements is recorded as Pass/Fail in
their transcripts.
-Similarly, the Intermediate Comprehensive Exam and
subsequent research-based components of Doctoral programmes are recorded as
Pass/Fail in students' transcripts.
22/xii/19: The course
codes for the dissertation in the various doctoral programmes in the School for
Government and International Relations have been amended to bring them in
conformity with those for other doctoral degrees
31/iii/22: Updates on
the UC's involvement in the CONTESSA project have been added to Sections XII
(Education Programs) and XII (Foreign Language Programs)
12/vi/22: Section IX.3.i
(The Dissertation) has been streamlined.
14/ix/22: An update has
been added to Section VIII.8 (Revised Structures for New Master's Students
Starting in Academic Year 2018-9) to clarify the writing structure required by MoEYS.
