The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is a globally recognized postgraduate research qualification.
Under the supervision of your advisory committee, you'll conduct substantial research culminating in a 40,000-word dissertation and oral defense. In certain cases, your final submission may take an alternative format.
Full-time MPhil candidates typically complete the program in 1.5-2 years, gaining sophisticated research skills and methodological expertise.
This independent research degree requires applicants to demonstrate strong academic preparation, potentially including a research proposal and supplementary application materials.
Each year, approximately 500 MPhil researchers enroll at UQ, exploring diverse subjects. Numerous graduates progress to doctoral studies, building upon their MPhil research foundation.
