Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Chinese
Program Available At Hamilton Campus
The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree has a status higher than that of other Masters' degrees but lower than that of the Ph.D. degree. It is a research degree designed to recognize an original contribution to knowledge and the comments on the originality and significance of the Ph.D. thesis apply here too. However, it is intended that an MPhil thesis be the product of only one year of full-time research (though in practice candidates invariably take longer) and the original contribution to knowledge will, therefore, be less than would be expected in a Ph.D. thesis.
China ("Zhongguo" – the Central Kingdom) has a civilization that spans 4,000 years, the longest unbroken civilization in the world. It was the center of East Asian culture for many centuries, exerting a strong influence on its immediate neighbors, including Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.
Over the last two decades, China has achieved the highest economic growth rate in the world. According to the World Bank and IMF estimates, in terms of the real size of its economy, China now ranks second internationally. It's home to one-fifth of the world's population and is poised to become a massive world force.
