EDMED7121 MINOR THESIS (PART A)
Many students wish to complete the Master of Education Studies through a research pathway that enables them to apply for entry into a doctoral programme. This research pathway includes four compulsory units; EDMED 7037 Ways of Researching, EDMED 7038 Analysis and Inquiry Reading and Framing the Research, EDMED 7121 Minor thesis (Part A) and EDMED 7122 Minor thesis (Part B) whereby students research and write their thesis under supervision. EDMED 7121 is the first of the units in which students prepare their minor thesis for the programme. Students draw on the insights developed in EDMED 7037 and 7038 to carry out a research project. Students work under the direction of a supervisor. Most commonly in this, the first of the two thesis courses, students complete a research proposal and an ethics application when necessary, and enter the field to collect their data.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,157
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,157
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
