Research degree programs
The Faculty of Business and Economics offers the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) programs across six departments and two centres:
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The PhD program enables students to complete independent research under the supervision of an expert academic. The research will culminate in a written thesis which offers a significant contribution to knowledge in the discipline concerned. Some PhD disciplines have a coursework component designed to assist students during the early stages of their research.
Master of Philosophy (MPhil)
An MPhil program enables students to complete independent research under the supervision of an expert academic. While it is not necessary that an MPhil thesis would make a major contribution to knowledge in the discipline area concerned (as a PhD would require), an MPhil thesis will be expected to make a contribution to an existing body of knowledge by applying, clarifying, critiquing or interpreting that knowledge. The MPhil can be undertaken either as 100% research program or through a combination of research and coursework.
Pathways to a research degree
The following Business and Economics courses can serve as pathways to research degrees.
The following postgraduate coursework programs are potential research degree pathways. To facilitate this, students must construct their course to include certain units (subjects) and attain specific grades in these units, as well as undertaking a significant research component.
