Tailored for graduates who have finished a Masters by coursework or an Honours Bachelor degree, our Master of Philosophy is entirely research-based and spans two years of full-time study. With mentorship from an experienced research supervisor, you'll design and execute your own independent research project on a topic that inspires you. The program offers the freedom to explore personal interests while maintaining relevance to your academic discipline. This self-directed degree has no classes or coursework—instead, you'll meet progress milestones to stay on track toward completing your thesis or creative output. Your journey will culminate in producing a significant thesis or creative work with an accompanying exegesis, followed by an oral defense before an examination panel. Recognizing the challenges of balancing studies with work, family, and other responsibilities, we've built flexibility into the program. You can opt for full-time or part-time study, allowing you to advance your academic aspirations while maintaining your current obligations.
