About

The PhD in Research (Asian School of Environment) at Nanyang Technological University is designed to be completed with four years of study. During the first two years, students take courses and complete one exploratory research projects in consultation with faculty advisor.

Overview

By the end of the first academic year of the Research (Asian School of Environment)(second semester) at Nanyang Technological University: the student submits: (1) tentative titles of research proposals for review by the oral examination committee and (2), a list of courses planned to satisfy the PhD requirement, for review by the academic advisory committee.

By the end of the second academic year: (1) passage of oral exam; (2) satisfactory completion of course requirements; (3) submission of a tentative thesis topic and adviser, and thesis advisory committee; (4) admission to candidacy.

End of the subsequent academic years: satisfactory progress toward completion of thesis.

Completion of PhD thesis by the end of fourth year. If warranted, the student may request an extension of up to one year from the academic advisory committee.

Advising and Thesis Supervision

A supervisor will be assigned for each incoming student. This supervisor serves as a mentor with broad responsibility for a student's academic welfare throughout the graduate program. The supervisor is responsible for guiding students through the academic program, including course work, identifying thesis advisory committee, and completing ASE requirements and prerequisites. Supervisors are chosen from the student’s area of interest.

Coursework Requirements

During the first year, every graduate student will take ES 7002 and ES 7003. These courses should be completed during the first year. Throughout their graduate careers, students are expected to attend departmental seminars and seminar courses led by visiting scientists.

Exploratory Research Projects

Graduate student exploratory research projects are carried out during the first year of residence.  The purpose of the research project is for the student to demonstrate the ability to carry out scientific research on their chosen topics, to place it in the context of previous knowledge, and to recognize its implications.  Each research project should be a careful written and oral statement of what has been learned up to the time of the examination, together with a discussion of the implications of the research.  The research projects should be supported by evidence that may include maps, graphs, photographs, samples, etc.  These materials need not be in final form or represent the last word on the subject.

The student should demonstrate breadth in the selection of research project topic. The name of the faculty member most closely involved should appear on the written abstract of research project.

Project supervisor may read each abstract once and provide general comments.  Preparation for the oral exam should be independent from supervisors, faculty/lecturer and post docs (i.e. talk rehearsals).  However, students are encouraged to seek input from fellow students and research associates.
