The Graduate Diploma of Research Studies in Science is an 80-credit program offering an alternative pathway for students seeking admission to PhD or MPhil programs who lack the necessary qualifications for direct entry. Successful completion qualifies students to apply for MPhil or PhD candidature, contingent upon meeting the Higher Degree Research policy requirements, with the final grade determining admission to either program. This program equips graduates with the skills to design and execute research in their chosen field, making them competitive candidates for roles across private, nonprofit, and government sectors. Furthermore, graduates gain eligibility to advance to Griffith Graduate Research School programs, setting the foundation for advanced research careers.
