Research activity

A doctoral thesis must make a significant contribution to knowledge in a field of study, embody the results of original investigation and analysis, and be of such quality as to merit publication.

The doctoral thesis is usually about 250–300 pages. Like the Master’s, the duration can vary significantly, but, students are usually expected to complete their programs within four years.   

Three major components of the doctoral thesis are the Comprehensive examination , the Thesis proposal and the defence.
