Course outline
The PhD in Caribbean and Latin American Studies enables graduate students to pursue in-depth research under expert supervision on the history, culture, social anthropology, and politics of this area. The focus of the University’s scholars who undertake supervision in this field is from the late eighteenth-century to the present day.
Students are registered for the degree of PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) from their admission to the University, although this status is probationary until the first Annual Review has taken place, normally between 12 and 18 months from registration.
Teaching & Assessment
PhD students undertake supervised but independent research, at the end of which they submit a thesis embodying the results of that research. This thesis must demonstrate familiarity with, and an understanding of the subject, its principal sources and authorities. It should display critical discrimination and a sense of proportion in evaluating evidence and the judgements of others. A PhD thesis must embody an original contribution to the knowledge of the discipline either by the discovery of new knowledge or by the exercise of a new and independent critical approach.
