The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) program is generally suited for students who have completed their undergraduate degree. A research-related background is not required.

Meanwhile the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program is for candidates with ample research experience and methodological knowledge (such as those who have already obtained a relevant MPhil degree), or those who have shown promising results and relevant experience in their undegraduate studies.

Applicants may choose to apply for both the MPhil and PhD programs, but are advised to consult their potential supervisors first for opinion.

No. Applicants are required to actively reach out to and obtain the endorsements from at least two faculty members to act as their prime supervisor* / co-supervisor(s), and to support their studentship throughout their studies.

Please note that applications will not be reviewed until all required documents are submitted and at least two supervisors are identified.
 

*The prime supervisor must be an AMC faculty member.

All full-time research PG students should be funded 12 months a year, up to 2 years for MPhil students and 3/4 years for PhD students. The studentship support will come mainly from the supervisors, and/or the university. The support may be dependent on satisfactory progress in the PG study or satisfactory work. Part-time students will not be given any studentships.
