MORE TO THINK ABOUT

  1. Draw up a diagram of advanced degree courses offered at universities and colleges in your country. Compare this system with that of Australia , as outlined in this ­chapter, or of the country in which you plan to study. (When you go abroad you will find it useful to be able to explain, clearly, the ­ similarities and differences between the two degree systems.)
  2. If possible, glance through a Master's or PhD thesis written by colleague or fellow student while studying at an overseas university or college. Then compare what you find with thesis written in your own Department.

Discuss with a fellow student any differences you notice in:

  1. Length,
  2. Structure,
  3. The kind of data used and the manner of presentation,
  4. Style, and
  5. Format.
