If you are interested in completing postgraduate Research work please visit Research Services.
Admission to candidature is normally granted on the basis of a Bachelors degree with Honours or a Masters degree with a substantial research component.
It is expected that a candidate for a doctoral program will have achieved the standard of at least second class Honours (upper division); and that a candidate for a Masters degree will have achieved the standard of second class Honours.
Other qualifications may be accepted if the Higher Degrees by Research Committee considers them as equivalent and there is demonstrated evidence of research ability.
Applicants who do not meet the formal entry requirements may be admitted to provisional candidature. In such cases the Committee will prescribe a course of advanced study followed by formal assessment.
View the higher degrees by research web site which includes relevant information and HDR contact details for each Faculty.
