Course structure
- This is a genuine research degree with no coursework curriculum. Candidates complete an original supervised thesis under the guidance of at least two supervisors
- following an approved research proposal in a business or management discipline (accounting, economics, finance, management, marketing or a related field). Progress is formally reviewed at set milestones (typically at 6, 18 and 34 months full-time equivalent) by the Graduate Research School
- and the degree is completed through submission and external examination of the thesis rather than through enrolment in taught units
Career & PR pathway
Which careers in Business lead to skilled migration depends on the occupation, not the degree title. See the skilled occupation lists guide for which occupations are on each list, and the points calculator to check where you stand.
Admissions
Applicants must demonstrate a capacity to carry out independent research and adequate training to pursue the proposed research topic. This is normally satisfied by a Master's degree, or a Bachelor's degree with First or Upper Second Class Honours, or a Bachelor's degree plus a Graduate Diploma (or a Master's by coursework) with a course-weighted average of at least 70%. In exceptional circumstances, applicants with a Bachelor's degree and substantial relevant peer-reviewed publications or research experience may also be considered. A supervisor and an approved research proposal must be secured before admission; full detail is in Section 3.2.1 of Curtin's HDR admission policy.
