Course description

Research report courses allow a student to work independently with a supervisor from the School to complete a research thesis. This course is for full time MIR and MPaCS students seeking to complete the thesis in one semester. Access to this course is limited. Entry is initially restricted to students who have:

  • An exceptional record of achievement reflected in a high GPA;
  • Completed #12 units of their program. MPaCS students must have completed all five MPaCS Core Courses and one MPaCS Flexible Core Course. MIR students must have completed all four MIR Core Courses and two MIR Flexible Core Courses. Completion of a research methods course is a recommended prerequisite; and
  • Completed a research report application form, which includes a detailed research report proposal.

Further information - including the application form and application due dates - is available from the POLSIS website here. Students are required to submit the application form and their research proposal by the relevant due date by email to polsis@uq.edu.au.
