Research Higher Degrees
A research higher degree is a program at masters or doctoral level in which at least 66% of the workload is devoted to independent research.
Typically, a research higher degree program does not follow a structure of lectures, tutorials, assessment items and examinations.
Instead, students commit to a specialised research project under supervision which typically culminates in the submission of a thesis (50,000-100,000 words), and may sometimes include creative output.
Research higher degree students work closely with their supervisor over the duration of the research project, which will last several years.
