Course Overview

QUT’s Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is a two-year full-time research degree (or four years part-time for domestic students). You’ll conduct in-depth, independent research on a topic you propose, with guidance from an experienced academic supervisor. The program is offered across all faculties—including business, engineering, health, science, arts, and law—or you can follow a more general route to match your background and research interests.

Students complete a research skills audit, which helps shape any additional training or coursework needed to strengthen your research capabilities and career prospects.

What You'll Learn
    • Advanced Research Expertise
      You’ll complete a thesis-based research project and develop strong research skills, including through the required unit in Information Research Skills (AIRS). This prepares you for further research, PhD study, or roles in R&D.

    • Personalised Supervision & Support
      You’ll work one-on-one with an expert supervisor and, where relevant, industry mentors—receiving tailored guidance that supports high-quality research output.

    • Interdisciplinary Community
      Join a research community that spans different disciplines and approaches, giving you the chance to learn diverse research methods and connect with scholars from multiple fields.
