The Graduate Diploma of Research Studies in Science is an 80-credit program offering an alternative pathway to Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Master of Philosophy (MPhil) programs for candidates lacking direct entry qualifications. Successful completion qualifies students to apply for MPhil or PhD programs, contingent on meeting the Higher Degree Research policy requirements, with the final grade determining admission to either degree. 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 can advance to Griffith Graduate Research School programs, positioning them for advanced research careers.
