Higher Degrees
A research degree, sometimes described as a higher degree, is awarded by the University of Waikato for research which requires a high degree of scholarly acumen, independence and perseverance. The research is supervised by members of academic staff, but must be the candidate’s original work. This must be presented as a written thesis that demonstrates the research process and the argument or results.
