Research courses
Master of Engineering (Research)
Enables students to extend and deepen their knowledge of a specialised area in engineering by undertaking research under supervision of a member of academic staff.
Doctor of Philosophy
Involves an intense period of supervised study and research, culminating in the submission of a thesis. Students must, through original investigation, make a distinct and significant contribution to the knowledge of their field of specialisation.
Finding a supervisor
Master of Engineering (Research) and PhD candidates are supervised by academic research staff with expertise in the candidate's chosen field. With a focus on industry collaboration, proposals that involve direct working relationships with industry professionals are strongly encouraged.
