Aim

To provide graduates with the capacity to apply research skills and specialist knowledge for employment in a research position and/or as a basis for further research towards a higher degree by research.

Content & Structure

The program requires completion of 36 units of study. The first half of the program equips students to undertake research by developing skills in the preparation and formulation of research hypotheses and proposals and increasing their awareness of safe and ethical practice whilst commencing their research project. The second half of the program allows students to complete their research project and requires them to analyse, understand and place their research results within context of the research literature in their field of study and to prepare a concise written thesis and present their findings in a research seminar.
