Master of Research
University of Canberra, Canberra, ACT, Australia
About this program
A research master's at the University of Canberra, 18 months full-time (up to three years part-time), worth 36 credit points: 27 on the thesis and 9 on coursework in research methodology, ethics and data analysis. It is available across disciplines through the Graduate Research School and is explicitly designed as preparation for a PhD, while also standing alone as a qualification. Entry is open to holders of a bachelor's, honours or graduate qualification in any field, subject to supervision being available for the topic. Graduates move into research roles in academia, government, industry and the not-for-profit sector, or continue to doctoral study. It suits graduates who want supervised research training and a completed thesis before committing to a PhD.
