Master of Philosophy (MPhil)
The Master of Philosophy is a master’s by research degree that requires you to formulate a research problem related to the discipline you are enrolled in, and conduct an independent investigation into the topic. As Monash emphasises research that contributes to people, planet and institutions, we encourage you to identify a research problem within one of these spheres. Our supervisory team will provide you with support all the way.
