The Master of Music Education by Research degree program involves the completion of three courses and a research thesis or project. The degree is completed in 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.

The Master of Music Education by Research degree program is designed for students wishing to engage in serious research and students who complete the program will be competent to carry out research in their chosen area.

A full-time student in the program would normally enrol in three coursework courses (in consultation with their supervisor) in the first year of study.

Year 2 of study concentrates on the completion of a 30,000 word thesis.
