Course description

This is a restricted entry course and requires prior approval from the School. Prospective students must themselves identify and approach a potential supervisor and discuss their proposed research question; supervisors are not assigned by the School for this course. Students interested in this course should in the first instance review the information here and at http://www.polsis.uq.edu.au//?page=191830 Student eligibility fill be examined in the following areas: - Grade point average (GPA): successful applicants would be expected to have achieved a program GPA of 5 or better in their Masters program - Progression through degree : successful applicants would be expected to be in the final semester of their studies (or have completed at least #16 units in the program) - Viability of project : the project outline will be reviewed to determine its quality, viability and feasibility. - Availability of supervisor : research projects must be of direct interest to an academic staff member within the school, who in turn must have the workload capacity to supervise a student. Students are required to not only be self-motivated and self-disciplined, but also to determine and develop their own project in consultation with their supervisor. Students wishing to complete the research report on a full-time basis in one semester should apply to undertake POLS7220. Students wishing to complete the research report on a part-time basis over two semesters should apply to undertake POLS7223 for semester 1 commencement or POLS7224 for semester 2 commencement.
