M.Phil.

An M.Phil. (Master of Philosophy) is an advanced postgraduate degree that involves in-depth research in a specific academic field. It is typically pursued after a master's degree and serves as a bridge between coursework and a doctoral (Ph.D.) program. The program focuses on developing research skills, critical thinking, and original contributions to knowledge. Students usually complete coursework and then undertake a substantial research project or thesis. An M.Phil. prepares individuals for scholarly work, teaching, or further academic research, and demonstrates expertise in their chosen subject area.
