• M.A. or Ph.D. course work and/or thesis research (documentary research and field work) and thesis writing; and

Scope of research:

Research projects must focus on a Southeast Asian country (or countries) other than the researcher’s own and may involve cross-national comparisons (which may include the researcher’s own country), or examine a regional theme, issue or problem. The research must include library (or archival) research and/or field work in the country or countries being studied.

 

• For M.A./Ph.D. students, the research findings must be used in the preparation of the M.A. thesis or Ph.D. dissertation.
