A total of forty-eight points made up of HYM5010 (Issues in public history) (twelve points), HYM5020 (Methods of public history) (twelve points) plus a twenty-four point research project of 18,000-22,000 words. The public history research project has the unusual requirement that it must be commissioned by a public agency. Students are introduced to potential commissioning agencies and invited to negotiate a study brief with their chosen agency. Some examples of commissioning agencies are the Australian Heritage Commission, the Museum of Victoria, The Ministry for Planning and Housing, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, The National Trust of Australia (Victoria), the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, local councils, churches, and various business and community groups.
