At most of our partner universities, the bachelor degree is three years in length. The exceptions are at Bond University where you can complete a bachelor degree in two years, attending class year around, and at Limerick University where bachelor degrees are four years. Students who achieve high results in their honors year may be offered direct entry into Masters or Ph.D. programs. It can also lead to professional certification in some fields. Masters by coursework is a degree that requires the student to attend classes and complete projects and assignments.
Assessment is by written examination and assignments.
Masters by research programs do not include any coursework. You will be expected to produce a thesis, developed by research of a topic that has been approved by an advisor. The Masters by coursework and research typically includes one year of coursework and a research project that is related to your specific area of interest. The Center for International Studies does not charge for its services in preparing you for studying for a full degree at one of our partner institutions, therefore you will be responsible for paying only the direct fees charged by the university you attend. Unlike U.S. institutions, overseas universities charge different fees for different programs.
