2 P O S T G R A D U A T E R E G U L A T I O N S & S Y L L A B U S E S 2 0 1 2 - 2 0 1 3 THE FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES DEAN’S MESSAgE TO grADUATE STUDENTS It is with much pleasure that I welcome you to the Faculty of Social Sciences. This is a Faculty that has had a long tradition in the provision of graduate training and research dating back to 1948 when the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) was founded. Since then however, in response to the dynamic environment in which we operate, we have expanded our graduate offerings considerably. Currently we offer graduate programmes leading to Postgraduate Diplomas, Masters, M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in all of our Departments and Centres. The Faculty therefore provides tremendous opportunity for career advancement through its taught programmes, and for extending the frontier of knowledge through its research degrees. To help you navigate your way through your graduate studies, this Handbook was prepared. It contains a wealth of information on the various postgraduate programmes offered by the Faculty. You will also find information on the pertinent rules and regulations governing postgraduate studies on the St. Augustine Campus and in the Faculty. It also contains information such as programme delivery modalities, elective course offerings and time frames for completion. In short, it will provide answers to the many questions frequently asked by postgraduate students, and I therefore urge you to devote some time to carefully peruse its contents. Many persons devoted considerable time and effort to the preparation of this Handbook and I wish to thank them. Special thanks to Dr. Hamid Ghany, outgoing Dean of the Faculty. I also wish to acknowledge the tremendous contribution of the staff of the Faculty Office and the Secretariat Staff of the Departments of Behavioural Sciences, Economics and Management Studies. Thanks also to the Staff of the Campus Marketing and Communications Office. Best wishes to you with your studies. Mr. Errol Simms Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences
