Master of Design (By Research)
Monash University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00008C
The course requires students to develop a research project that results in a new body of design work with an accompanying written and visual exegetical essay. The exegetical essay is a written and visual commentary that outlines the development of the project and its conclusion, and provides a critical context within which the work may be viewed and assessed. The essay will be between 10,000 and 20,000 words, with a photographic record of the design work being bound into the document. Written work is not examined separately but considered together with an exhibition of new design works, which demonstrate a conclusion to the research proposal at the master level.
