Comprehensive Examination
Before the commencement of the thesis, every student has to take a comprehensive examination to demonstrate their grasp of the knowledge that they acquired in the area of research. The comprehensive examination will be of 8 hours duration. The aim of the examination is to determine the student's ability to draw on the knowledge they acquired through an integrated framework. The grading will be based on the Qualify/Not Qualify option.
PhD Synopsis
The scholars are encouraged to start their research during their coursework so that they can present their PhD Synopsis in BASAR within one year after passing their comprehensive exam. As per UMT policy, any scholar unable to pass BASAR within one year after their comprehensive exam will be dropped from the degree program, and their admission will be cancelled.
Doctoral Thesis
The thesis write-up will start after the approval of the research proposal by the PhD committee. As per HEC policy, the final doctoral thesis is sent abroad for evaluation by two foreign experts. Based on the Evaluation Report by foreign experts, the student must take a Viva examination. The examiners will include external and internal examiners and, where possible, the foreign experts who evaluated the written thesis. All scholars must publish a scholarly paper in an HEC-recognized journal for the award of a PhD degree.
