Master of Philosophy (Research) - Mechanical Engineering

Australia

What will I learn?

The Master of Philosophy is a research degree with an examinable coursework component, taken over six terms and comprising 72 Units of Credit. A thesis embodies the result of an original investigation, design or engineering development. A progam of advanced study, comprising 18-24 Units of Credit of coursework makes up the remainder of the program. The coursework component will normally comprise three or four courses selected from the Coursework Masters offering for the relevant discipline and approved by the Head of School. Candidates may undertake interdisciplinary studies subject to approval. Subject to the approval of the program authority, candidates may enrol in postgraduate courses from other tertiary institutions. Before enrolment an applicant should submit an intended program for approval by the School controlling the research discipline for the degree. The School will ensure that the coursework component is relevant to, or complements, the research component, and that the candidate satisfies pre-requisite requirements for the study.
