A Research degree requires students to take responsibility for work and submit a thesis for their research work under the supervision of their academic guide. The most popular research degree is a PhD, which can take 3-4 years to complete, during which time students need to write their thesis between 60,000 – 100,000 words followed by an oral defence presentation in front of the research committee.
