Your research will use an in-depth understanding of theories and concepts to develop practical solutions for real-world problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A higher degree by research differs from other postgraduate degrees in that at least two-thirds of the study program must involve research. Although some coursework units may be required, the main part of your work will be in the form of a thesis written under the guidance of a supervisor and associate supervisor(s). Your thesis must, in the opinion of the examiners, be a substantial original contribution to the knowledge or understanding of any field through the discovery of new facts, the formulation of theories or the innovative reinterpretation of known data and established ideas. It must also demonstrate your capacity to conceive, design and complete independent research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout your studies, our faculties will provide you with access to equipment and resources to support your research, and financial assistance to attend appropriate local and international conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Why research at Curtin<\/h3>\n<p>Curtin is widely recognised for applied research firmly focused on solving real-world problems.
