Master by Research (Offshore) - CD85

The Master by Research (Offshore) provides you with the opportunity to study for a research masters degree, recognised within the Australian Qualification Framework, whilst remaining in your home country for a substantive part of the degree. This course is comprised of an independent research study and thesis, overseen by academic supervisors, and is limited to high-quality applicants wishing to pursue research in particular discipline areas. For fully offshore candidates, periods of short-term visitation in Australia will be required during this degree, and travel support is available to facilitate such visits. For candidates undertaking this course under a co-tutelle model, an extended period of study within Australia will be required, typically lasting at least six months or more.

The Research Higher Degrees Course Guide provides detailed information about eligibility, benefits provided by CQUniversity, and the application, selection and offer process. The Research Higher Degree Flyer provides detail on Offshore Research for international students at CQUniversity.
