Hello,

I recently downgraded from being a PhD student in Humanities to an MPhil student due to lack of funds.

Anyone know someone or has themselves passed an MPhil exam who can please please let me know how strict they are with exam standards at MPhil level? That is, what are the expectations for an MPhil degree such that one can work to be given a pass? What will the examiners be expecting from someone applying for this level of award (instead of a PhD)?

I'd really appreciate your feed-back!

I second this, if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

My friend has just gained a MPhil in Property Law: as I understand it, her particular Uni expects a MPhil to be the same standard as a Phd but minus the Viva. Basically it is as good as a Phd yet to be defended (Viva). My friend is waiting for her Viva in order to gain her  Phd.
