Discuss any intention to change research direction with your supervisors and graduate research co-ordinator.

Master's degree students need to consider whether the change:

  • will mean that it becomes inappropriate to undertake it in the current research program
  • may require a change in degree program.

You will need to provide a new research proposal if your research direction changes significantly.
