192203 v.6 Master of Science (Physics)
MSc(Curtin)
Introduction
This research course has been designed to provide research opportunities for both practising professionals and recent graduates to extend their scientific competence in an area of chosen research.
Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
A bachelor degree in science with a physics major or an approved equivalent. An appropriate honours degree or the postgraduate diploma is a prerequisite for entry to the masters course.
Duration and Availability
The course is by research and normally requires one to two years of full-time or equivalent part-time study.
Course Organisation
This course is studied as a research degree. The content of the degree should be determined in consultation with the Postgraduate Coordinator, Department of Applied Physics. 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.
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other vital study materials. In addition, students may also need to contribute some of the cost of consumables, which varies depending on the area of study.
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.
