Master of Philosophy (Mechanical Engineering) in Bentley Australia | Curtin University

The Master of Philosophy program is designed to extend your knowledge beyond undergraduate honors or postgraduate diploma qualifications, with a research thesis as the final outcome. After earning this research-based master's degree, you'll be eligible to apply for admission to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program.

Research-focused graduate degrees stand apart from other postgraduate programs by requiring that research constitutes at least two-thirds of the study plan. While some coursework may be necessary, your primary focus will be developing a thesis under the direction of a supervisor and associate supervisor(s). Examiners must judge your thesis to make a significant original contribution to any field of knowledge, whether through new discoveries, theoretical developments, or creative reinterpretations of existing information and concepts. Additionally, it should showcase your ability to plan, execute, and finalize independent research projects.
