A Master's by Research (MA) program enables students to complete a one-year (full-time) research-focused degree with minimal formal coursework. This option provides an opportunity to investigate a research subject in less time than a comprehensive PhD program.
Research Master's degrees are particularly suitable for professionals in industrial or commercial roles who want to conduct full-time Research and Development to address challenges or improve workplace processes.
For such candidates, it's often feasible to design a Master's by Research project that involves close collaboration with university faculty members. These academic supervisors offer specialized guidance while granting access to the institution's extensive resources and facilities.
Students will follow an approved study plan developed with their supervisor during the initial months. Throughout the research process, participants can enhance their skills by attending specialized training sessions and academic events.
