The Master of Philosophy is suited to those who:
Candidates
are required to complete a major thesis of 50,000 words under the supervision
of an academic. Its standard should be comparable to legal writings found in
learned law journals and must demonstrate the candidate's ability to carry out
independent research and to analyse and synthesise legal concepts.
Candidates are required to submit a completed thesis proposal form to the
executive officer, research administration. The prescribed proposal form is
available from the research office upon request or from the faculty's website
at http://www.law.monash.edu.au/postgraduate/application_hdr.html.
On receipt of the completed thesis proposal form, the executive officer,
research administration, will submit it to the Research Committee for approval
of the topic and the appointment of a supervisor. In approving the research
topic, the Research Committee has regard to the adequacy of the candidate's
preparation for the research project and the facilities available in the
faculty for the supervision and carrying out of the research.
The requirements which must be met with respect to the certification of theses
prior to their submission for examination are set out in sections 47 and 48 of
the faculty's regulations.
