The individual study plan must identify and clearly communicate the following: |
|
Personal interest, objectives and relevance of study program for envisioned research work. |
|
The specific domain of study, understanding of associate disciplines and issues pertaining to |
| |
research. |
|
Justification of the research and program of study from a practical point of view as related to the |
| |
education system, issues and practices in the country. |
|
| The independent study courses will be undertaken under the supervision of a member of the faculty who will also assess the performance of the candidate. In addition, the student will undertake five more courses. These courses will be arranged in the faculty and each course will carry a value of 3 credit hours. |
| The successful completion of 18 credit hours will advance the candidate to the dissertation phase of the program. The doctoral dissertation will demonstrate the scholarship and research capabilities of the student, specifically, the student’s ability to comprehend, interpret, analyze and synthesize information. The student must also show a general understanding and grasp of the domain in which he/she is working and should be well informed about literature relating to the field. His ability to apply research techniques to collect data, analyze the information and discuss and generalize results will be examined and evaluated. The first requirement following the entry into dissertation phase is the selection of a suitable research topic and the preparation of a research proposal (synopsis), to be presented to and be approved by the Iqra University Board of Advance Studies and Research. In case of M.Phil students recommended for conversion of M.Phil thesis to the PhD level, an application duly recommended by the research adviser, the departmental research committee and the Dean will be forwarded to the BASAR for approval. |
