Our MPhil programme in Chinese Studies is offered as a one-year programme that aims to allow postgraduate students to develop their analytical, research, and writing skills in preparation for further academic research or entry into professions requiring such skills. It is designed for highly motivated future researchers with a substantial undergraduate background in Chinese Studies or related fields, but who 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 means that students work closely with one supervisor throughout the year on a thesis of no more than 25,000 words to be submitted in August.
