Master of Philosophy (Public Relations) in Bentley Australia | Curtin University

The Master of Philosophy program is designed to extend your academic expertise beyond undergraduate honors or postgraduate diploma qualifications, with a research thesis as its key component. Successfully earning this research-based master's degree makes you eligible to pursue admission into 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 included, your primary focus will be developing a thesis under the mentorship of a supervisor and associate supervisors. 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. Additionally, it should showcase your ability to independently plan, execute, and finalize research projects.
