This research course caters for those with major interests in laboratory and/or field biology, and provides opportunities to develop a speciality by means of research and thesis.
An undergraduate biology program with at least second class honours or an equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary educational institution. Superior performance in the Postgraduate Diploma in Natural Resources at Curtin is considered an equivalent qualification, providing the research topic in that course has been primarily biological.
The research course is 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, Department of Environmental Biology. 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.
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 only one-third by coursework. Students should not enrol in this research course to receive the Postgraduate Diploma in Natural Resources 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.
