Master of Philosophy

The Master of Philosophy allows you to develop in-depth knowledge, expertise and skills through the application of research in the field of injury prevention.

You will gain experience in designing and implementing injury prevention research and contribute to our existing body of knowledge by applying, clarifying or interpreting that knowledge.

You can complete this course as a stand-alone program or use it as a pathway to a PhD.

You may choose to study any of the major areas of research MIRI offers. When you study with us, you will conduct a prescribed program of research. One of our expert staff will supervise you.

MIRI researchers are involved in every step of the injury prevention cycle from identifying and analysing problems to evaluating programs and engaging the community. This allows us to offer unique research opportunities to students with diverse backgrounds and career ambitions, including:

• biomechanics
• biostatistics
• computer science
• econometrics
• education
• engineering
• epidemiology
• health economics
• human factors
• industrial ergonomics
• medicine
• nursing
• psychology
• public health
• statistics.

Your MIRI supervisor, in consultation with you, will develop your research program and report on your progress at regular intervals.

The Master of Philosophy is a university-wide master by research degree administered by the Monash Research Graduate School.
