The program of study and research

An applicant who accepts an offer of admission to a place in a Higher Degree by Research program shall commence within the time specified in the letter of offer unless a written request for a deferment of enrolment is upheld by the Dean Research and approved by the Research Degrees Committee
Masters students are enrolled provisionally until the requirements for confirmation of candidature are met. That is, within the equivalent of a maximum of six months of commencement in a higher degree by research program Masters students are required to have their research proposal approved by the relevant Dean, Research (or equivalent), including Head of School (or equivalent) approval for resource allocation to the project.
Following confirmation of enrolment, a Masters student shall be re-enrolled in each calendar year following initial enrolment until all components of the degree program have been completed and the thesis is submitted for examination, or the maximum period of allocated candidature is reached, or until suspension or termination of the enrolment by the Research Degrees Committee, whichever comes first.
The normal maximum length of the Masters program will be 2 years full-time equivalent from the initial enrolment date.
A Masters student shall undertake a program of research under supervision in order to complete a thesis for examination. Unless co- or panel supervision is required, each Masters student shall have at least two supervisors appointed, one of whom shall be nominated as a Principal Supervisor and one as an Associate Supervisor. Supervisors are appointed on the basis that their research expertise is appropriate to the research outline indicated in the application.
The primary role of each full-time Masters student is to work on their thesis and, for all Masters students, to complete the degree within the maximum allocated time of enrolment.
An HDR student will enter into a formal Statement of Agreement with the supervisors regarding the completion of the research. This Agreement will document the expectations of the Masters student and supervisors for their responsibilities in the relationship, and outline the Research Support Activities to be undertaken for the individual research project.
The research and study shall be carried out either within the University or within an industrial, commercial, government, educational, research or other organisation approved by the Dean Research (or equivalent). The University will not require a Masters student to undertake employment at the institution.
The Research Degrees Committee recommends that full-time Masters students do not undertake paid employment for more than eight hours per week or for a total of the equivalent of eight hours per week over a twelve month period.
