Program Description

The Master of Arts by Research degree program involves the completion of three courses, a thesis proposal and a research thesis. The degree is completed in either three or four sessions (full-time). It is designed for students wishing to engage in serious research but not able to devote the three years required to complete a PhD or with a research project which does not lend itself to that level of extended treatment. Clear indication of potential to undertake research is required, either through a relevant Honours degree or through a period of professional work following a relevant undergraduate degree.

Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The Master of Arts by Research degree program is designed for students wishing to engage in serious research. It involves the completion of three courses, a thesis proposal and a research thesis which encourages initiative and originality in research.

Program Structure

A full-time student in the program would normally enrol in three coursework courses (in consultation with their supervisor) in the first session of study. The second session of study involves the completion of a thesis proposal. Year 2 of study concentrates on the completion of a 30,000 word thesis.
