This research-based higher degree develops research skills and advances knowledge in the discipline.
An approved honours degree, or postgraduate diploma with well above average marks (usually an average of at least 70), and with adequate training in contemporary literary and cultural theories. Applicants without necessary preparation are required to undertake appropriate bridging units, or an appropriate honours unit. Applicants should consult the General Information section in this Handbook entitled Regulations for the Degree of Masters (by research).
The course is by research and normally requires one to two years of full-time or equivalent part-time study.
This course is studied as a research degree. The content of the degree should be determined in consultation with the Postgraduate Coordinator of the Department of Communication and Cultural Studies. Students without prior studies in research methods andstatistical data analysis will be required to undertake relevant preparatory units. This will increase the stated course duration.
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other essential study materials.
It is a requirement that two-thirds of this course is undertaken by research and one-third by coursework. Students should not enrol in this research course to receive the Postgraduate or Graduate Diploma in Communication and Cultural Studies but rather have undertaken it as a requisite for admission.
Curtin University reserves the right to alter the internal composition of any course to ensure learning outcomes retain maximum relevance. Any changes to the internal composition of a course will protect the right of students to complete the course within the normal timeframe and will not result in additional cost to students through a requirement to undertake additional units.
