Description

Enrolment in a Research Thesis shall be approved by the Faculty of Law if:
  1. A clearly defined project is proposed: the thesis topic must be approved at the outset but may be modified at a later stage;
  2. The student has a sufficient academic background in legal study to enable the thesis to be completed in a satisfactory manner
  3. Adequate supervision is available - supervision may be conjoint but at least one supervisor should be a full-time member of the School of Law's academic staff.
MCJC students may enrol in either LAWS8423 Research Thesis or CRIM500 CJ Research Thesis, but not both. MCJC students must complete 24uoc before being eligible to apply for a Research Thesis, unless they have permission from the program convenor, in order to ensure they have the adequate foundation for the research. Ideally students should have a WAM of 75% based on 24uoc in order to be eligible for admission to this course, or have achieved Honours 1 or 2:1 in a prior relevant degree, other than with the permission of the program convenor.

MILIR students may enrol in either LAWS8423 Research Thesis or POLS5113 Research Project, but not both.

MILS students may enrol in either LAWS8423 Research Thesis or ZHSS8400 Research Project, but not both.

LLM, MHRL&P and MCJC students may request to convert the LAWS8423 (6 uoc) course into a 12 uoc Research Thesis option extending over two semesters; subject to the approval of the Supervisor/s, the program Director/s and the Coordinator of Postgraduate Education. This option is not available to students enrolled in other postgraduate programs.
