students from any discipline can be placed with the Australian

Research Report and our students receive significant academic credit
for their research project.

Graduate Coursework
Graduate coursework generally results in the

attendance at lectures and tutorials, and submitting assessment

Graduate Research
Admission to a research degree normally
requires an Honours degree (at Honours 2A or above), or equivalent
prior studies (such as a Graduate Diploma or a Master degree) that
includes some research work.
A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) normally takes
between two and four years full-time to complete a thesis of
100,000 words. The thesis must make a substantial contribution to
learning and demonstrate a capacity to relate the research done by
the candidate to the broader framework of the discipline or
disciplines within which it falls. In some programs, PhD candidates
are required to complete coursework as well as the thesis. A Master
of Philosophy (MPhil) takes from one to two years full-time, or two
to four consecutive academic years part-time.
