Postgraduate Teaching: Doctorial Program in Social and Economic Scences

The doctorial program has an overall length of three years and is divided into distinct stages of study. During the first stage students will take courses in the areas of Philosophy of Science, and Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methods. Students who achieve exceptional distinction in their course work will be invited to prepare a doctoral dissertation proposal that includes the identification of a topic, discussion of the topical and methodological issues of the field in which the dissertation will be pursued, and where appropriate, an identification of the data resources to be uses or developed. The proposal will also identify further areas of informal and formal study to be pursued in the course of dissertation research and writing.
