Q. I am currently enrolled as a Masters student at another university, and would like to apply to the Doctoral course offered by the Department of Advanced International and Social Studies. My university does not require that I write or submit a Masters thesis. Therefore, I would like to know if it is possible that I submit an academic paper other than a Masters thesis, upon applying.
A. It is a requirement for application that you submit your Masters thesis, or a paper that is at least equivalent in terms of technical standard, to that of a Masters thesis.
