Overview

The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is a postgraduate research degree that develops research skills and provides students with the opportunity to conduct research in their chosen discipline.

The MPhil consists of 24 credit points of coursework and 72 credit points of research thesis, comprising 40,000 words or equivalent. Under the guidance of a supervisory team, of at least two supervisors, students will independently plan and execute a research project that will lead to the production of a thesis.

Coursework is taken in the first session of the degree and students will enrol in generic and discipline specific research training subjects including preparation of your research proposal.

The training subjects typically include introduction into the role of theory, research design and methodology, literature sourcing, review and critique, bibliography organisation, structuring and writing a dissertation, and quantitative and qualitative data analysis and interpretation.

These subjects expose students to diverse teaching methods. For subject details, see the course structure section below. Students completing the MPhil will make an original contribution to knowledge in their chosen discipline. They will also be able to communicate this contribution to their peers and the community.

The faculty offers the following disciplines:

  • Accounting
  • Economics
  • Finance
  • Management and operations
