Research & Research Study

What does research study entail?

Higher Degree Research Programs

The University offers higher degree research programs of study that may be taken either by full-time or by part-time study and arrangements may be made for supervision of research to be conducted by distance mode under certain conditions. Rules for the degrees may be found in the Macquarie University Postgraduate Handbook which is a part of the three volume University Calendar. The salient requirements are summarised under the degree headings.

For all research degrees, the availability of supervision reflects the present research interests of members of the various departments. Applicants are advised to approach potential supervisors prior to making application to the University. Candidates for research degrees can be accepted only where suitable specialised supervision is available. Prospective research candidates are strongly encouraged to contact the senior advisory staff indicated in the appropriate department.

Candidates in some disciplines may be required to undertake specific coursework units to supplement their research work. Applicants for enrolment for higher degrees by research in some circumstances may be required to complete a preliminary program of research training or preparation.
