Research Opportunities
Candidates for a research degree follow a couse of research for a prescribed period which will vary depending on the degree and on whether they are studying on a full-time or part-time basis. While full time study tends to be more common, part-time study enables graduates living locally to obtain supervision and arrange their studies to accommodate work, domestic and other commitments.
Choice of Topics
Prospective research degree students should look at the research pages on this website to see the range of research topics available. Most higher degrees specify that applicants should normally be Honours graduates or possess other qualifications which are considered equivalent.
Periods of Study
The number of study periods needed for a higher degree will usually be achieved in three years for the PhD or one year for Masters degree by research. Part-time students will take longer. Time is also allowed for additional work and writing up.
| Degree | Standard Period of Study | Maximum Permitted Period of Study |
|---|---|---|
| PhD (Full Time) | Three years | Four years |
| PhD (Part Time) | Five years | Six years |
| Masters (Full Time) | One year | Three years |
| Masters (Part Time) | Two years | Five years |
