CWR postgraduates are required to fulfil a small coursework requirement - 2 courses are required for Masters and 4 courses are required for PhD students, in addition to the thesis submission. Selection of units should be done in consultation with the Supervisor. These may include short courses delivered by CWR staff or any honours or postgraduate course outside of CWR.
