General information

The MQual programs are designed for students who have a bachelors degree and wish to proceed to a higher degree program. Two kinds of programs are offered: MQual with a research component and MQual by coursework. Both programs are undertaken in one year of full-time or two years of part-time study. All students undertake forty-eight points of coursework subjects at fourth year level.
Students should note that the MQual by coursework programs are usually identical in content to a graduate/postgraduate diploma program in the same discipline, whereas the MQual with a research component programs are similar to honours degree programs and are intended for students wishing to proceed to research degrees. Please see individual department/centre entries for details of programs offered.

Entry requirements

The minimum entry requirement for the MQual programs is a credit average in the third part of the major sequence or in the final year of a bachelors degree. Some programs may require students to have achieved distinction average grades - please refer to the entry requirements for individual programs.
