Postgraduate Coursework Research Thesis Application

Follow our step-by-step instructions to apply for a Postgraduate Coursework Research Thesis course in Economics as an elective in your master's coursework program.
 

1. Identify a research area, a supervisor, and a research topic

Check our research areas and staff members in the School of Economics. Get in touch with a potential supervisor and develop your research topic in collaboration with the supervisor. Students are recommended to get in touch directly with potential supervisor to discuss possible research topics as early as possible.
 

2. Apply online

Once you have an agreement from a supervisor and a defined research topic in your chosen research area, submit your application online by the beginning of Orientation Week for the semester you intend to enrol. Late applications may be considered, provided a supervisor and research topic are agreed to by the Course Coordinator.
 

3. Enrol in your chosen course

Once your application has been processed and approved, you’ll receive an email confirming your permission to enrol. 

You'll then need to enrol in your chosen course via mySI-net prior to the enrolment deadline.

Check the Thesis Course Profile (ECON7930/ECON7933/ECON7934) for details of your assessment requirements and deadlines.
