** A 36-point minor thesis is made up of the above units taken over three semesters. A 24-point minor thesis can be taken over one or two semesters. Despite being divided into 6, 12, 18 and 24-point components for administrative reasons, the minor thesis is a single entity incorporating a research project and formal research methods training. Results are returned only on completion of the final component. It is essential that students enrol in FIT4005 (IT research methods) as a prerequisite or as a corequisite in cases where enrolment in the Minor Thesis extends over more than one semester. To enrol in the Minor Thesis option, students must have first:

1. completed at least 24 points of level 5 units in their degree
2. attained a Distinction average on their Masters coursework
3. obtained their course leader's approval to enrol
4. completed FIT4005 (IT research methods).

Project/minor thesis units(each 12 points)**

• CSE5351 Research project/Research training/Minor thesis - initial component
• CSE5352 Research project - intermediate component
• CSE5353 Research project/Research training/Minor thesis - final component

** A 36-point minor thesis is made up of the three 12-point units - CSE5351, CSE5352 and CSE5353 taken over two or three semesters. A 24-point minor thesis comprises CSE5351 and CSE5353 over one or two semesters. Despite being divided into 12-point components for administrative reasons, the minor thesis is a single entity incorporating a research project and formal research methods training, hence results are returned only on completion of CSE5353, the final component.

Students are also required to complete FIT4005 IT research methods, together with CSE5351 Minor thesis (initial component).
