Course overview
Looking to advance in your career? Keen to gain insight into research on a smaller scale before committing to a PhD? Whatever your goals, our Master of Research will equip you with the skills necessary to undertake high-quality research – expertise highly valued in industry and academia. Designed for those who want to build on their current qualifications – and become an expert in their field – this degree combines coursework with a research project. The first part of your studies is designed to help you develop a broad base of research skills. In this coursework component, you’ll explore key methodologies and approaches to research, including topics such as methods, communication and engagement. In the remainder of your studies, you’ll put this learning into practice. Under the guidance of an experienced and supportive research supervisor, you’ll plan, design and complete your own independent research project on a topic of interest and relevance to your field. We understand balancing study with work, family responsibilities and other important commitments can be challenging. This is why we’ve designed our Master of Research to be flexible. Where possible, you can choose to study full-time or part-time – helping you advance your study goals without compromising your current commitments. You’ll emerge with the expertise to understand and undertake research, to apply your analytical and creative thinking to solve complex challenges, and to effectively communicate sophisticated ideas to a range of audiences. The Master of Research equips students with rich research skills, providing a direct pathway to our Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) qualification.
