Research subjects 

The research subjects are designed for students intending to later pursue a graduate research degree, such as a PhD (please note that entry to graduate research degrees is dependent on a range of selection criteria and is competitive). They provide a grounding in educational research methodology and include the design and completion of a research project in education. 

The two research subjects must be undertaken in the final 50 points of study, and the following eligibility criteria must be met to enrol into the subjects:

  • Students in the 200-point program must achieve an average of at least H2A (75%) in the first 125 points of the course

The research methodology (EDUC90419) and research project in education (either EDUC91197 or EDUC91198 & EDUC91199) subjects can be taken in sequence, or together.
