Master of Philosophy - Level 3
Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is an internationally recognised graduate research degree that involves undertaking a significant research project in an area that fascinates you. It is a supervised research program involving the independent research of a specific topic under the guidance of a supervisory team. This will result in you producing a thesis that will represent an original contribution to human knowledge and demonstrate your capacity for critical analysis and application of specialist knowledge. Through the Master of Philosophy you will develop and enhance your analytical and research skills through independent investigation in a specific field.
