Research Lab
This phase generally is a mix of your second and third semesters. This generally includes data collection and analysis. This phase includes your synopsis submissions and monthly progress report submission after every six months. This phase also includes multiple seminars and presentations.
Doctoral Thesis
This phase is generally your third to sixth-semester phase that includes thesis write-up, committee reviews, thesis re-write-ups, viva voices (oral defenses), and award of the doctorate.
During each of these phases, the scholar will be guided and supervised by a supervisor or research faculty.
