The Graduate Diploma of Research Studies in Science is an 80 credit point program that provides an alternative route for entry into a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) or a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) program for applicants who do not possess the required qualifications for direct admission. Upon successful completion of the program, students will be eligible to apply for admission to MPhil or Ph.D. candidature subject to fulfillment of requirements for candidature as specified in the Higher Degree Research policy and successful completion of the confirmation procedure.
