The Master of Business Dissertation in the Master of Business comprises the research and writing of a thesis (maximum of 25,000 words). Students examine a professional area of interest, usually related to their work environment and are assisted by one or more supervisors with appropriate background. Each candidate for the applied research project is required to submit a research proposal to the Masters Course Committee for approval and endorsement by the Dean prior to the commencement of research. Most topics are drawn from the candidate's work experience and interest; however it is recognised that the work of some candidates is not necessarily suited for that purpose and the Masters Course Committee then considers topics drawn from elsewhere if necessary.
