Graduate Research
Admission to a research degree normally requires an Honours degree (at Honours 2A or above), or equivalent prior studies (such as a Graduate Diploma or a Master degree) that include some research work.
A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) normally takes between two and four years full-time to complete a thesis of 100,000 words. The thesis must make a substantial contribution to learning and demonstrate a capacity to relate the research done by the candidate to the broader framework of the discipline or disciplines within which it falls. In some programs, PhD candidates are required to complete coursework as well as the thesis. A Master of Philosophy (MPhil) takes from one to two years full-time, or two to four consecutive academic years part-time.

The National Statement makes provision for research that involves minimal risk to participants in setting guidelines for expedited review (N.S 2.27 - 2.29). The ANU Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) has implemented Local Ethics Sub Committees (LESCs) for expedited review of such research projects. The ANU LESCs are formed within each College, however not all schools/departments within the Colleges operate through their College LESC. The current LESC’s and the appropriate contact person are as follows: Sub-Committee for the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific: Margaret Foster
