Our research degree programs are meticulously crafted to empower students to cultivate advanced capabilities for independent and enduring research endeavours. Within our faculties, you'll find a diverse array of course structures, including research master's programs, PhDs, and doctoral programs, each designed to cater to your academic journey.

Central to these research degrees is a thesis component, which serves as the crucible for honing your critical application of specialized knowledge. This element equips you to engage in autonomous exploration, ultimately making an indelible and distinctive mark within the realm of existing scholarship.

Opting for a research master's program is a strategic step that readies you for more profound and original pursuits, either at the doctoral level or in applied research roles across diverse contexts. On the other hand, pursuing a doctorate degree represents an even greater challenge, tailored to broaden your skill set and elevate your prospects in academia, industry, or the public sector.

Time commitment

Usually, three to five years full-time.

Best for

Students interested in conducting in-depth specialist research within their areas of interest.
