Overview
The focus of the University’s scholars who undertake supervision in this field is from the late eighteenth-century to the present day.
Features
- Students in the Caribbean and Latin American Studies programme from University of Buckingham are registered for the degree of PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) from their admission to the University, although this status is probationary until the first Annual Review has taken place, normally between 12 and 18 months from registration.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The usual period of doctoral study is three years, though the University’s Regulations also permit candidates who make particularly rapid progress to apply to the University Research Committee for permission to submit at the end of their second year of study.
- Part-time applications will be considered and may be accepted where teaching provision is available.
- PhD students undertake supervised but independent research, at the end of which they submit a thesis embodying the results of that research.
- This thesis must demonstrate familiarity with, and an understanding of the subject, its principal sources and authorities.
- A PhD thesis must embody an original contribution to the knowledge of the discipline either by the discovery of new knowledge or by the exercise of a new and independent critical approach.
