Overview

The Master of Philosophy at Charles Sturt University allows you to develop and enhance your analytical and research skills through independent investigation in a specific field and present your findings in a thesis.

You'll develop a thorough understanding of scholarly debate and the capacity to critically analyse and constructively contribute to that debate to shape your research, resulting in a distinct contribution to knowledge of the subject. The Master of Philosophy may also be a pathway to a Doctor of Philosophy.

Key facts
