| Description | This is one of three units (2 of 6 credit points, one of 12 credit points) that together (total of 24 credit points) provide outstanding students in the Commerce program with the opportunity to develop and complete a supervised research dissertation of 12.000 to 15,000 words, or equivalent, on an approved topic within the domain of business/commerce/management on either a full-time or part-time basis. Admission to the dissertation stream requires an average grade of at least 80% in a minimum of four Commerce program units, interview by the Associate Dean Postgraduate, and a formal dissertation proposal agreed to by a nominated supervisor and the Associate Dean Postgraduate. Final approval will depend on the nature of the proposed topic and the availability of appropriate supervisory expertise. This unit is the 12 credit point dissertation unit in the suite of three dissertation stream units, and must be taken after or in conjunction with the two 6 credit point units (BUDD6998 and BUSS6999). The dissertation will be marked by examiners nominated by the Associate Dean Postgraduate in consultation with the supervisor and other academics from the relevant discipline/s. |
