What are the differences between research postgraduate programs & taught postgraduate programs?

  • MPhil and PhD programs are research postgraduate programs (RPg) which involve intense research work and preparation of a thesis under the guidance of a supervisor. 
  • Taught postgraduate programs (TPg) lead to DBA, EMBA, MBA, MA, MSc, MPM, MPP and PGD degrees. TPg programs place more emphasis on coursework and are generally more career-oriented than RPg programs.
