All potential postgraduate students should contact the Postgraduate Co-ordinator.
Research candidates will need to ensure that there is appropriate supervision available and should consult with the department over the 1000 word research proposal required by the application form.
Coursework students should discuss which degree is most appropriate for them with the co-ordinator. This is also an opportunity to discuss what kinds of units might be appropriate, including whether or not dissertation units might be included in your degree (a 500 word proposal will be needed before you enrol in Dissertation Part 1).
