    About

    Do you want to take your career to the next level? If so, you should consider a Master of Philosophy (Education) from The University of Notre Dame Australia. This postgraduate research degree includes coursework and a substantial research component culminating in the submission of a thesis. You may undertake the course in either a full-time or a part-time capacity; the standard time for completion is usually 18 months for a full-time student and three years for a part-time student.

    The coursework consists of four compulsory research training courses (Quantitative Research Methods, Qualitative Research Methods, Scholarly Reading and Writing and Developing a Research Proposal), which are prerequisites for your research project. These courses will provide opportunities to formulate substantial elements of your planned research project and develop necessary skills in critical analysis and scholarly writing.

    You will be given as much flexibility as possible to complete the coursework component of this degree. However, an average grade standard of Credit must be achieved in the coursework as a prerequisite for proceeding to the research component. In terms of academic guidance, you will be assigned University-based supervisors who will provide support throughout the coursework and research components of the degree.
