This program consists of the preparation of a research proposal, the conduct of research, participation in seminars and conferences, and the preparation and submission of a thesis. Candidates undertaking this program may also take an interdisciplinary approach which recognises that solutions to problems often rely on knowledge gained across traditional disciplines. In the selection of fields of research, students are encouraged to examine the broad perspective within which the problem lies and to adopt problem-solving techniques applicable across disciplines. Studies will be undertaken by independent research. Students seeking to conduct research on an external basis will be required to reach agreement with the University on arrangements for supervision.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the course requirements and the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
Requirements as at 01-JAN-2016: All students are required to have the equivalent of 6 months full time research (which must involve a research output which includes the conception and design of the project, and analysis and interpretation of findings) if applying with a Masters qualification other than a Master by Research. Special entry may be considered for applications to the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) who will be required to attend an audition and/or interview.
Students may be required to attend classes on more than one campus to complete the course.
Students are required to continue re-enrolling in the relevant discipline-specific thesis unit of their study until the thesis is submitted for examination.
