The investigation/research will be conducted under the direction of formally appointed supervisors. The Faculty of Science has the capacity to supervise Master's level students in all fields of research and all discipline areas covered by the Faculty. The Dean or delegated authority shall appoint an appropriately qualified and experienced supervisor and, if appropriate, a co-supervisor from the academic staff of the University. The Dean or delegated authority may also appoint a co-supervisor from outside the University (for example, from industry, the professions or another university or research establishment) if appropriate.

All students will be required to present their work in the form of a portfolio. Such a portfolio will include:

  1. a publishable article ready for submission to a refereed journal, together with the author's guidelines to the chosen journal and reasons for choosing this journal;
  2. a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, which includes a justification for the focal point of the investigation;
  3. application and approval documents from CSU and/or other institutional Ethics in Human Research Committees (if required), and/or if required from other CSU committees such as Radiation Safety, Biosafety and Animal Care & Ethics;
  4. formal research proposal.
  5. a summary overview, linking all aspects of the portfolio into a logical seamless document

In addition, such a portfolio will include any detailed methodology, results and analysis which supports the information presented in the publishable article.
