Revision, May 2018. Start of revision.
The 苹果淫院 Ph.D. in Architecture is a research degree with a thesis. The foundations for the doctoral thesis are developed through four (or more) courses taken in the first two years of study. Students and supervisors meet regularly in the first year to prepare the thesis proposal (ARCH 700) as well as other seminars related to their field of study if needed. All students participate in the year-long Research Seminar (ARCH 711D1/D2 and ARCH712D1/D2), taken during the first two years of the program, in which they present their research framework and objectives for peer critique. By the end of the second year of studies (Ph.D. 3), Ph.D students must complete the Comprehensive Examination (ARCH 701) with their Advisory Committee.
Thesis
A thesis for the doctoral degree must constitute original scholarship and must be a distinct contribution to knowledge. It must show familiarity with previous work in the field and must demonstrate ability to plan and carry out research, organize results, and defend the approach and conclusions in a scholarly manner. The research presented must meet current standards of the discipline; as well, the thesis must clearly demonstrate how the research advances knowledge in the field. Finally, the thesis must be written in compliance with norms for academic and scholarly expression and for publication in the public domain.
