Postgraduate Course Work Degree Programs scholarships requirements guide
Like I mentioned before in some of my previous posts, there is a huge
difference between Postgraduate course work degree scholarship program and a
research degree scholarship program
(Masters/PhD) also known as HDR in Australia.
So what is the difference between the two type of degree programs ?
Masters and PhD by research degree program scholarships are much more
easier to find and difficult to get because of the strict, numerous and
competitive requirements while Postgraduate Course work Degree programs scholarships on
the other are much more easy to get but difficult to find. Easy to get
because of lesser requirements to meet BUT still very competitive. Course
work degree scholarships are difficult to find as most scholarships to study
abroad are research focus.
A Postgraduate Coursework can be a
professional qualification or course involving the study of a specified set
of core courses including elective courses etc. In other words, undertaking
a coursework degree program implies attending classes,
completing assignments and probably going in for exams. In some cases
a Masters by Coursework will also require the completion of a minor thesis
as part of the course.
Example of course work degree programs include for masters or PhD include
:Business, Project Management, Administration, Accounting, Data science
etc..
A Masters or PhD by research on the other hand
generally entails a long term intensive research work leading to the
submission of a completed thesis based on an independent research project.
Students at this level are expected to work independently with the support
of a supervisor. Students might also require to undertake some few courses
or works or trainings to expand on their research skills and capabilities.
Research publications are also required in most cases.
