GRADUATE STUDIES M.A. PRELIMINARY
Graduates with the degree of B.A. (Ord.) may in some instances be per- mitted to study for M.A. This requires the passing of a preliminary examination.
The length of time for the М.A. preliminary course varies according to the.
qualifications of the student in the appropriate school. .
In general, departments require that candidates have reached the standard of the B.A. (honours) work in that school. Graduates of other faculties may in certain circumstances be admitted to M.A. preliminary courses without completing a B.A.
All intending candidates should consult the appropriate department and also refer to enrolment procedures as indicated on p. 21.
MASTER OF ARTS
Candidates for this degree must either have completed the course for the degree of bachelor of Arts with honours or, after completing the course for the ordinary degree, have pursued further studies for two years (unless this period be reduced by permission of the faculty in special circum- stances) and have then passed a preliminary examination of the standard of the final examination for the degree with honours.
The eхaтiпatiоп for the degree Is usually in the form of a thesis. Intend- ing M.A. preliтiпaгу and M.A. students should consult the head of the department concerned and obtain a special application form from the sub-dean's office. Candidature must be approved by the department and by the faculty before enrolment will be accepted.
Candidates are required to enrol and pay fees in each year over which their course extends. (Candidates are reminded that they are not entitled to supervision or any other facilities unless they are enrolled.) The time over which these courses may extend is ordinarily limited to two years for full-time and four years for part-time students. Except in special circumstances and with the permission of the faculty no student may be enrolled as a candidate for the M.A. degree for more than four years, nor be given leave of absence from his course for more than 12 months.
In addition to the schools in which the examination may be taken as listed In the regulation, the faculty of Arts has approved for advanced studies Criminology, Economic History and Music. No candidate can be admitted 59
to the degree of master of Arts unless he is a graduate of at least one year's standing.
The regulation is on p. 34. Details of the examination are printed under the heading of the relevant department.
M.A. Examination
In most departments examination is done by thesis, three (3) copies of which must be submitted to Students' Records.
Format of theses:
Generally should be on quarto size paper measuring 10%In. x Bin.
but, where quarto is not suitable, on foolscap size paper measuring 13in x 8in.
(ii) Sheets should be numbered consecutively and clearly; Interpolated sheets should be marked distinctly—e.g. 69(a), or as the case may require.
(iii) Folding diagrams or charts should be arranged so as to open out to the top and right.
(iv) There should be a margin on the left hand side of at least 1 1/ 1n.
uniform on all sheets.
(v) At least one copy, for deposit in the library, must be bound in such a manner that it will stand on the shelf as a book. All copies must have the pages firmly fastened within a cover. Spring-back folders must not be used.
(vi) A title page must show the title of the thesis, the degree for which it is submitted, and the full name of the author as well as a state- ment that the thesis is the candidate's own work and that he has quoted all source material used.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
This in general is a degree for full-time research workers. A candidate must be a graduate of this or some other university recognized for the purpose, must be of such standing as may be required by the Professorial Board for graduates in this faculty, and must be accepted as such by the Professorial Board on the recommendation of the head of the department concerned. He must pursue for at least two years a course of advanced study and research under a supervisor or supervisors appointed by the board, and on its completion must present a satisfactory thesis embody- ing the results of his research.
The pre-requisite for the Ph.D. degree is an M.A. with first or second class (division A) honours or B.A. with first or second class (division A) honours together with one year's experience in approved post-graduate work. In the latter case graduates with 1st or 2A honours would enter for the M.A. degree but, if recommended and approved by the faculty, could apply for admission to Ph.D. candidature at the end of their first year of graduate study without having to submit a master's thesis or be tested by publication or further examination.
The head of the department would be responsible for recommending acceptance by the Ph.D. Standing Committee and the matter would be reported to faculty as soon as possible afterwards.
