Year 1 | ||
---|---|---|
Research Practicums |
Research practicums Throughout the first 2 years of their programme students will be required to participate in Research Practicums where they are assigned to a member of Faculty to jointly explore research collaborations. These interactions are intended to allow students to explore in-depth research topics and shape research projects besides their main dissertation (MG598) in Year 2. Research proposal At the end of Year 1 students submit an initial "research proposal". Students will be expected to start work on developing this proposal over the summer period. | |

Annual Progress Reviews |
In order to progress unconditionally from the first to the second year of MRes registration students are required to achieve pass marks of 60% in 2.5 units (5 classifications marks). Students that do not attain this standard may still be able to progress as follows, subject to approval by the Department of Management (DoM) PhD Committee: Students may fall short of this requirement by up to 1 unit of marks; which may consist of up to a maximum of 0.5 unit mark of fail and/or a 0.5 unit mark of between 50-59. Students will resit at the next available opportunity. Where a student is resitting a course they have passed in order to meet the progression requirements the new mark will not show on the transcript or be used to calculate the award of the degree. There will be regular student progress reviews each term by the DoM PhD committee. An Annual Progress review for Years 1 and 2 of the MRes/PhD programme will take place between May and July. The review will monitor academic progress and include feedback from the Programme Director, Faculty group and student. All final progression decisions are reviewed and approved by the DoM PhD Committee. End of Year 1: The APR in Year 1 will consider attendance in MY5A1, participation in the Research Practicums, supervision attendance, supervisor(s) progress reports and the available scores on the MRes papers. Re-registration for the following year will be approved by the DoM PhD Committee, and on the expectation of the student will achieve the marks required in any resit exams. End of Year 2: The APR in Year 2 will review the successful completion of second year course work with marks meeting the required standards, the quality and contribution of MG598 paper and satisfaction with progress and participation in the programme. Recommendation for registration to the PhD programme by the DoM PhD Committee for the following year will be based on the successful completion of the previous year, and on the expectation the student will achieve the marks required in any resit exams. Award of the MRes in Management – Marketing The award and classification of the MRes degree will be subject to the normal application of the School's Scheme for the Award of a five-unit Taught Masters Degree. Progression to PhD registration In order to progress and upgrade to PhD registration students must have taken and passed all 5 units (10 classification marks) with a grade of 60% or higher by the end of the programme. Students can compensate by achieving an aggregate of 300 marks (with no failed papers) which must include a grade of 60% in their core seminar. |
