Introduction
This research based higher degree develops research skills and advances knowledge in the discipline.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
A relevant degree with a semester weighted average (SWA) of 70 per cent or better or an equivalent qualification. Applicants with a SWA of less than 70 per cent are required to undertake appropriate bridging units. Selection is based on academic performance, the potential to undertake research, professional references and an interview.

Duration and Availability
This research course is of two years full-time duration, but applicants with a postgraduate diploma, relevant honours degree, or equivalent qualifications and experience may be eligible for direct entry to the second year of the course. Part-time study is also available.

Course Organisation
This course is studied as a research degree. The content of the degree should be determined in consultation with the Postgraduate Coordinator, School of Occupational Therapy. Students without prior studies in research methods and statistical data analysis will be required to undertake relevant preparatory units. This will increase the stated course duration.

Special Note
It is a requirement that two-thirds of this course is undertaken by research and only one-third by coursework. Students should not enrol in this research course to receive a related Postgraduate Diploma but rather have undertaken it as a requisite for admission.
