The Graduate Diploma of Research Studies in Science is an 80-credit program offering an alternative pathway for students seeking admission to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Master of Philosophy (MPhil) who lack the standard entry qualifications. Successful completion qualifies students to apply for MPhil or PhD programs, contingent upon meeting the Higher Degree Research policy requirements, with the final grade determining PhD or MPhil eligibility. This program equips graduates with the skills to design and execute research in their chosen discipline, opening career opportunities across private, nonprofit, and government sectors. Furthermore, graduates may advance to Griffith Graduate Research School programs, positioning them for advanced research roles.
