Master of Research (Computer Science)

The Master of Research is a program of independent, supervised research that can be taken in any discipline for which appropriate supervision is available and is assessed solely on the basis of a thesis.The Master of Research is a highly flexible course that mirrors the structure and breadth of the Master of Philosophy. The MRes is designed to broaden options for honours students who wish to expand their research output, but have been unsure about transitioning straight from honours to PhD. The first year of the course comprises the honours year, and students who are admitted to the MRes proceed directly from the honours year into the second year of the MRes.
