At postgraduate level, whats the difference between a coursework program and a esearch program?
Coursework programs are primarily classroom and laboratory based and require students to undertake studies which are prescribed by in course curriculum. These programs often include examinations and projects assessed by the university throughout the study period. Research programs are offered at the masters and PhD level. The structure of research programs is determined through consultation between the student and a suitable research supervisor. Research projects are assigned by schools in consultation with its supervisory staff upon receipt of a students research proposal. The project proposal is accepted based on assessment that it coincides with the students experience and aspirations and the expertise of the supervisory staff.
