Master of Science (by Research)

The Master of Science (by Research) degree aims to provide students with the opportunity to carry out independent and sustained research in a branch of the sciences under appropriate supervision, to develop advanced research skills and techniques, and present their findings in documented scholarly form. The thesis should make an independent contribution to learning, or offer a critical perspective on existing scholarship or methodology.

Graduates with a science or applied science degree or its equivalent may undertake an Master of Science by Research (MSc) program in CHESM, which is one of the research centres of the Melbourne Physiotherapy School.  Students undertaking an MSc can apply to convert to a PhD if acceptable academic progress is made.

For details of course structure and requirements see the Science Faculty website at http://www.science.unimelb.edu.au/postgrad/MSc.html.

For further details of the CHESM's areas of research interest and activity see our research pages.
