I've always heard that if you don't have a 'substantial' amount of work, you'd be downgraded to an MPhil, but what does 'don't have substantial amount of work' mean?
Can a 300-500 page thesis be downgraded to an MPhil? I know it's not about the quantity but more of the quality, but 300-500 page of thesis should have a considerable amount of novel discussion and output.

I could easily write 300 - 500 pages of b*llshit.. :P
