For acceptance into the programme, an interview, preparatory study, an entrance course and examination may be required by the School of Accounting. Successful applicants must prepare a research proposal in consultation with a member of staff allocated to them. This proposal must be presented to a panel convened for this purpose. Once a decision has been made that the proposal has been accepted, the student will be allowed to proceed with the research component of the programme. The panel must specifically approve the field of study, the research topic, methodology and problem statement before the candidate may register for the minor dissertation.
