How do I progress from the MSc in to the MPhil?
To be eligible to proceed to the second MPhil year, a student must have successfully completed the MSc year by attaining a mark of at least 60 on all five components. However, a student in the upper level language class may be admitted with a mark on the language paper that is less than 60, provided that it is at least 50.
If you would like to stay on for a further year you should discuss this with your supervisor. Once agreed, the next stage is to complete Form GSO.28 Application for Change of Programme of Study which you can get from the office or go online at http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/course_guidance_supervision/graduates/forms/
The form needs to be signed by your College and both your supervisor and the Director of Graduate Studies. Please return the completed form to the Nissan Institute office.
Progress to the MPhil programme will normally be permitted conditional on a satisfactory performance in the end of year examinations and dissertation.
Students who were initially accepted for the two year MPhil programme must also satisfy the exam board by gaining marks of 60 or above for all courses and the dissertation.
