The masters qualifying with a research component is designed for students with
at least a three-year pass degree who wish to proceed to a masters by research
program in geography. The program is one year full-time or two years part-time.
Applicants must have a pass degree with a major in geography or an allied discipline with at least a credit-level average in the third part (the last year) of the major, or qualifications deemed to be equivalent. Students who have completed relevant units at level four with grades of credit or above may request at the time of their application for a maximum of 24 points (or 50 per cent) to be credited to the program. Credit will not be granted for units for which a degree or an award of any kind has been taken out or towards the core unit or the research project. All requests for credit are subject to the approval of the section and the faculty.
The
program undertaken is the same as that undertaken by level four honours
students in the section but has a slightly more substantial research component.
It consists of the 12-point, one-semester GYM4820 (Seminar in geography); a
further unit or units to the value of 12 points chosen, in normal
circumstances, from the level four units listed below; and a research project
(GYM4960) which is the 24 point project.
Students who complete the masters qualifying program with a grade of honours 2A
or above (that is, distinction or high distinction level result) are eligible
for admission into the PhD/masters program.
Units are offered according to the availability of staff and sufficient enrolments.
