| Essay | The essay should be tailored to the research process being undertaken by the scholar and the particular stage they are at in this process. Some scholars may use the essay to explore the philosophical issues that are extant within their reseach area. Others may present as the essay a draft of the philosophy chapter of their thesis. Each scholar, in close consultation with their supervisor, should identify the most appropriate topic and submit this to the module coordinator. The essay should be no longer than 3500 words in length. Scholars are free to submit their essay at any stage during their doctoral studies, but before the submission of the PGR4 form to the Registry. | 100% | Week 1 |
