Masters Research Proposal

Synopsis: Research students are expected to present a written research proposal within three months after commencement. The proposal is handed in to the study leader.

 Assessors of this proposal are selected by the faculty for their understanding of the field and the research involved. The purpose of a research is to set out a plan for conducting the research and writing the dissertation within the available time. It should take account of the availability and guidance of the study leader.

The starting point for a research proposal is the topic, which is the field of interest in which the research is to be carried out. In introducing the topic, the proposal should clarify the field that it falls into and the specific part that field which the research will explore.

It should clarify why the topic is of interest and importance, and how the proposed research will contribute to the filed of knowledge or profession. The proposal should clarify the research questions, ensuring that these are specific and answerable.

It is important to show how these questions relate to the topic are, and how they will advance the student’s contribution. The proposal should detail the research to be carried out, and clarify the research methods, the timeframe and the reasons for selecting particular  methods.

Where a period of literature review or research should precede any empirical research, this should be factored in as part of the research. It is important to estimate any periods of field research and to flag their duration and cost in your research proposal.

HUM 602 Thesis

Humanities Studies Thesis for Masters and Dissertation for Doctorate

Candidates need to complete a 60000-words  dissertation (in Myanmar or English) and a 3000-words executive portfolio (in English).

This program requires the candidates to complete a thesis  as part of the assessment for the Master of Humanities Studies degree and a dissertation for Doctor of Humanities Studies.

Doing a thesis / dissertation means that instead of knowledge and information being presented and following a prescribed route for answering questions, candidates are thrust into an active role of managing an investigation into a topic area. This means researching and discovering things for themselves.

They will have to set their own targets and parameters, pose their own central research questions and decide on the appropriate sources of information to support the research. It therefore requires the use of the higher-level cognitive skills of analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Candidates may choose an area of particular interest to them within the scope of course title.

Doctoral dissertation

A dissertation is an individual effort and the candidate, academic tutor and the course professor will work together on constructing an approved topic (research question) and methodologies.

Humanities  Dissertation Defence for doctorate

It is expected of Doctoral candidates to defend their thesis by means of a colloquium (academic discussion). The purpose of the meeting is for the candidates to convince a panel of experts in the field of the dissertation how well they have done in the conducting of their research study and the preparation of their dissertation

 

Candidates need to complete all course assessments with the results of Grade B+ or above.
