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.
