The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is a globally acknowledged postgraduate research qualification. Under the supervision of your advisory committee, you'll conduct a substantial research initiative culminating in a 40,000-word dissertation and an oral defense. In certain cases, your final submission may take an alternative format. Full-time MPhil candidates typically complete the program within 18-24 months, gaining sophisticated subject expertise and methodological skills. This self-directed research degree requires applicants to demonstrate robust academic credentials, potentially including a research proposal and supplementary application materials. The University of Queensland welcomes approximately 500 MPhil researchers annually across diverse disciplines, with numerous graduates progressing to doctoral studies.
You have to prove you are prepared for MPhil study. You do this by showing you:
have completed some relevant experience
have completed an approved university degree and
can meet the English language requirements.
