Supervisor or Advisor
A supervisor or advisor plays a crucial role in guiding the research process. They provide mentorship, feedback, and support throughout the research journey. The supervisor helps the candidate refine their research question, develop a sound methodology, and interpret their findings.
Challenges and Opportunities
Conducting research without a master’s degree presents both challenges and opportunities. On one hand, candidates may lack the specialized knowledge and research experience gained in a master’s program. This can require additional time and effort to acquire the necessary skills.
On the other hand, the absence of a master’s degree can provide candidates with a fresh perspective and the freedom to explore innovative research approaches. They may be less constrained by traditional methodologies and more open to interdisciplinary collaborations.
