Master of Philosophy - Art, Design and Media
The Master of Philosophy is a research degree with an examinable coursework component, taken over three sessions and comprising 72 units of credit. A thesis, awarded 54 units of credit, embodies the result of an original investigation. The thesis may take the form of a written dissertation or a combined submission, comprising a studio/production component or curated exhibition and a written dissertation. A program of advanced study, comprising 18 units of credit of coursework, makes up the remainder of the program. The coursework component will normally comprise three courses:
