    Master of Philosophy (Business)

    About

    If you have performed exceptionally well in your undergraduate studies may wish to undertake a research project in an area of particular interest to you. Each candidate is assigned two university-based supervisors who will provide support and academic guidance throughout this program's coursework and research components. During the coursework stage, your supervisors will assist with the early preparation of your research proposal and continue to offer guidance throughout the research phase until your thesis is examined.

    The Master of Philosophy (Business) can be completed in 18 months of full-time study or the equivalent of part-time study. Candidates will usually complete the four coursework subjects within the first full-time semester. An average grade of Credit in the coursework is a prerequisite for proceeding to the research component of the program. The schedule considers the fact that many students will be working full-time or have other commitments during their enrolment.

    You will need to discuss your application with a suitably qualified academic staff member, preferably one you wish to be your principal research supervisor, before applying to enrol in a Master of Philosophy.
