The MPhil program is an excellent option for students who have no previous research experience or for students who do not meet the eligibility criteria for a Masters by Research or PhD. It is a research degree designed to provide research training for candidates who wish to develop competence in research in Public Health, or who wish to progress to a PhD. It comprises one-third coursework (24 units of credit) and two-thirds research (a thesis of less than 40,000 words) and is usually completed in 1.5 years. The thesis can be submitted in a minimum time of 2 semester’s full-time equivalent, or a maximum of 4 semester’s full-time equivalent.
Candidates can apply to upgrade during their MPhil to a PhD program, subject to School and Faculty approval.
Advanced standing may be given for courses completed as part of a Master of Public Health or relevant equivalent, subject to approval.
