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

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

Research-focused advanced degrees stand apart from other postgraduate programs by requiring that research comprise at least two-thirds of the curriculum. While some coursework may be necessary, your primary focus will be producing 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 fresh interpretations of existing information and concepts. Additionally, it should showcase your ability to plan, execute, and finalize independent research projects.
