  In cases where students have limited prior research experience, evidence of strong academic record may be assessed as sufficient for entry into this degree

Completion time

The maximum time allowed for a candidate to complete a Masters degree by Research program is two years in the case of a full-time candidate and three years in the case of a part-time candidate.

Where an extension of candidature means that a local student will exceed the maximum period for which Commonwealth support is normally provided the student may be liable for course fees for any period of time that is outside the maximum period of time normally covered by such Commonwealth support.
