MPhil in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies by Research (Chinese Studies)

Our MPhil programme in Chinese Studies is offered as a one-year programme which aims to give postgraduate students an opportunity to develop their analytical, research and writing skills in preparation for further academic research or entry to professions requiring such skills. It is designed for highly motivated future researchers who have a substantial undergraduate background in Chinese Studies or related fields but need more exposure to topic-specific or discipline-based analytical frameworks and more intensive training in primary source language(s) and research skills.  This MPhil is only suitable for those with demonstrable experience and ability in independent academic research.
This MPhil programme is taken by thesis only. This entails working closely with one supervisor throughout the year on a thesis of not more than 25,000 words to be submitted in mid-August.
