Master of Design by Research (Monash – Southeast University)

Enrolment in a master's by research degree involves the independent investigation of a research problem that has been formulated by you as the student. It is expected that the research you undertake will make a contribution to the disciplines in which you are enrolled by applying, critiquing, analysing or interpreting that knowledge in ways that facilitate pathways for further learning. You will be supported in your research by a supervisory team across both disciplines. You will develop a project in creative practice research that results in a body of design work with accompanying written and visual documentation. The documentation is a commentary that outlines the development of the project and its conclusion, and provides a critical context within which the work may be viewed and assessed. The exhibited artefacts are new works that demonstrate a conclusion to the research at the master's level. Works completed for other purposes, or before enrolment in the degree, are not permitted for inclusion in the exhibition.
