Master of Design (by Research)

• Academic (International students, as published on Monash's course page): applicants must demonstrate capacity to carry out independent research and adequate training/ability to pursue the proposed course of study. No single fixed GPA/grade figure is published on this specific course page — detailed graduate research admission criteria are set out on Monash's general graduate research admissions page.
• English language requirement: "sound English language skills" are required, per Monash's general English language proficiency policy (no course-specific IELTS/PTE score published on this page).
• As a by-research degree, admission also depends on identifying an available academic supervisor in the relevant field.

Through their research, identification and application of appropriate research and creative methodologies, master's graduates have demonstrated advanced skills and application of specialist knowledge to the attainment of practice-based design-focused outcomes. Master's graduates work as creative and cultural producers: industrial designers, graphic designers, interior architects, new media content producers and developers and as academics, researchers and service design consultants for specialist companies, leading corporations and manufacturers, advertising agencies, governments; and as independent creative practitioners.
