| Doctoral Supervision: The department’s senior members offer doctoral supervision across a range of sub-disciplines, leading to a doctorate – a DLitt et Phil – in either Sociology or Industrial Sociology. For their areas of specialisation, please see last page. Where appropriate, the department will arrange a co-supervisor, either from within the department or from another department within UJ, or, in exceptional cases, from another university. Members of the department also co-operate in inter-disciplinary supervision, leading to the award of a D Litt et Phil. | |||
| Doctoral study requirements The minimum requirement for registration as a doctoral student in Sociology or Industrial Sociology is a very good MA degree in Sociology or a subject closely related to Sociology. Doctoral candidates must complete at least two years of study if they are full-time students, and four years if they are part-time. During this period, they must make at least two seminar presentations. On completion of their research, students must submit both a thesis that makes an original contribution to their subject and an academic article that is ready for publication. Finally, candidates must sit an oral exam, where knowledge of their field will be tested.Unless they have already done so, all doctoral candidates are expected to undertake the department’s advanced course on Social Research Methodology. |
