The Graduate Diploma in Research Methods is a rigorous, year-long program aimed at equipping students with advanced research methodologies and specialized subject knowledge as preparation for postgraduate research degrees. This qualification features an extensive 18-unit thesis project (spanning six months) along with dedicated research methodology courses, offering essential research training for candidates lacking the necessary experience to directly enter higher research degree programs.
Applicants must normally hold an approved degree or equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution and have achieved a grade point average (GPA) of 5.00 (credit) or greater.
