Overview
Provisional acceptance is at the discretion of the Department of Philosophy, based on your academic record and our available research expertise.
Features
- Official admission into the PhD (Applied Ethics) programme at Stellenbosch University depends on the successful defence of a formal doctoral proposal and final approval by the Higher Degrees Committee of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Once you have been provisionally accepted and registered for the PhD (Applied Ethics) programme, you will work with your supervisor to develop a formal PhD proposal – normally a three to six-month process.
- This proposal will then be defended before a Doctoral Admissions Committee, which will determine whether your research topic is viable and whether you are equipped to complete it successfully.
- Once the proposal has been approved, you will be able to start work on the PhD dissertation itself.
