Research theses

This component of the MSc programme will be financed from the Research Fund. Students are expected to begin to formulate their research project during the course work, taking advantage of the expertise and experience of the resource persons at the participating institutions. The detailed activities will be drawn up during the final weeks of the initial phase of the course which will be held at UAF. 

Students will in the main do their research project in their home country, however, there will be opportunities to work in other countries in the region according to the chosen subject. 

Communication by Email will facilitate close interaction between students and facilitators throughout the conduct of the research.  The initial phase of the write-up of the research will begin at the student’s work place with the final preparation of the thesis being done at UAF. 

The defence of the theses will be arranged to coincide with the holding of the annual workshops and will be rotated around the participating institutions.

Details of the theses will be provided when the students complete the introductory course
