MASTER OF ARTS
B. SCHOOL OF HISTORY
Prospective candidates for the M.A. in the School of History should in all cases consult the department of History before beginning work for the purpose.
Examination is normally by thesis, prepared under supervision and assisted by participation in research seminars. All candidates may be required to take any subject or attend any classes relevant to their M.A. subject. Variations of the normal procedure are now being considered, to extend this last provision in practice, in order to allow greater attention to be given to training M.A. students in the skills required for the different fields of historical study. For certain students the Professor- in-charge may plan l.A. courses which require a shorter thesis and give credit for time spent in the mastering of ancillary studies (such as languages, statistics, etc.).
Students pursuing the traditional M.A. course will submit a thesis not exceeding 50,000 words, excluding footnotes, bibliographies and appendices which are trans- criptions of relevant documents. For students pursuing a course giving more time to ancillary studies, the length of thesis will be prescribed by the Professor-in-Charge.
All M.A. students must write regular reports on the progress of their research as requested.
An entry form for examination for higher degrees must be submitted to the Registrar.
Three copies of each thesis ( quarto, typewritten, double-spaced) should be submitted, one of which will be deposited in the University Library. The attention of candidates is drawn to the recommendations of the Professorial Board on the format of theses (regulation 4.6 in the University Calendar).
