The Graduate Certificate in Research Studies is a qualifying program as 'front-on' for research degrees as well as a standalone award for those who do not wish to pursue research degrees. It is designed for applicants who need additional skills in research before commencing independent study in a research masters or doctoral program. It is particularly suited for applicants with an undergraduate or coursework degree and extensive relevant professional experience. The course focuses on research methodology and the thesis proposal which includes a literature review. Students select additional high level subjects in their area of interest.
