About Research Higher Degrees
A research higher degree is a program of supervised research and study leading to the preparation of a thesis. The holder of a research higher degree will have submitted a thesis which examiners have declared to have provided a contribution to knowledge and demonstrated the candidate's capacity to carry out independent research.
The Faculty of Business and Informatics supports research at Honours, Masters and Doctoral level and all research activities are coordinated by the Associate Dean (Research & Innovation) in conjunction with the Faculty Research Committee. Research activity in the form of scholarly publications, postgraduate research supervision and Research Grants is reported through the Associate Dean (Research & Innovation) and the Executive Dean to the University Research Board and the Postgraduate Research Advisory Panel.
The Faculty is committed to undertaking research supporting endeavours to build an internationally competitive community and brings together a variety of business and informatics related disciplines.
Thematic priorities have been established for research endeavours. Potential research candidates may be able to secure research opportunities within existing projects in these thematic areas or may alternatively negotiate a topic of their choice where appropriate research supervision can be found.
