Introduction

This research course is designed for those intending to complete an extended piece of original research under the supervision of a staff member with interest and expertise in the subject area of research.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites

A Bachelor of Arts (Honours) or Postgraduate Diploma in Humanities or relevant discipline from a recognised Australian tertiary institution. Prospective students are expected to have the equivalent of first or upper second-class honours.

Duration and Availability

The course is by research and normally requires one to two years full-time or equivalent part-time study. This course is only offered where adequate supervision can be provided within the Faculty of Humanities. In exceptional circumstances it may be possible to arrange joint supervision with academic staff outside the Faculty. Prospective students are advised to consult the Postgraduate Coordinator in the relevant School or Centre to ensure that supervision is available in the area of their research proposal. The course is available to both full-time and part-time students.

Course Organisation

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

Additional Course Expenses

Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other essential study materials.
