It involves supervised study and research, through completion of a major research thesis in an approved thesis format for examination, as well as research training and independent study.
Upon graduation you'll be able to progress to a PhD or Professional Doctorate or be employed as a research assistant or research technician.
The standard duration of a Masters Degree (Research) is two years of full-time study or part-time equivalent, although in certain circumstances the degree may be completed in eighteen months.
In some cases the student may be required to complete approved coursework units such as laboratory skills or research design as part of the Masters Degree (Research).
If you have completed study with another university or institution and believe you are eligible to receive credit for skills and past study, you can apply for advanced standing.
