Description

This course is a thesis-only research degree which requires candidates to carry out an independent study which is reported in a thesis. For more details refer to the 'Master of Education (Research) program' introductory section in the Faculty of Education information pages in this handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2012handbooks/postgrad/edu.html.

External candidature

Candidature by external mode is available and can be on a full-time or part-time basis. Prospective candidates applying for this mode must be able to ensure regular interactive communication with their supervisor and be able to undertake the equivalent of five days of full-time study within the University each year although this requirement may be relaxed in later years depending on the candidate's progress.

Requirements

Towards the end of nine months of full-time (or equivalent) candidature, students are required to prepare a research proposal and present it orally to a panel of academic staff. If the panel agrees, this changes the student's status from probationary to confirmed candidature.

Candidates for the Master of Education will submit a thesis of no less than 30,000 words and no more than 40,000 words and will engage in a research induction program in consultation with their supervisor.

Progression to further studies
