  • Can I live outside the Leura campus?

    No. All students currently studying Bachelor of International Resort and Hotel Management at the Leura campus are required to live on site, in the accommodation blocks. New and direct-entry undergraduate students are required to stay on campus and share a room. Undergraduate students are asked to embrace twin-share accommodation, to provide companionship and peer support. Most students form close bonds with their roommates and often request to share a room with the same person again. There are no mixed-gender rooms. Room dividers ensure privacy when sleeping and dressing.

    First-year undergraduate students are required to share a room with someone from a different nationality. As an international school, we require our students to develop their cultural awareness and appreciation of other nationalities. This also prepares students to work in the hospitality industry, which is international by nature.

    Second-year undergraduate students returning from industry placement can apply for a single room. You can request a single room on the Return to School (RTS) form. There are a limited number of single rooms available.

    Third-year and postgraduate students studying in Sydney are required to find their own accommodation.

    During the Christmas break, you may return home, travel around Australia, or find casual work locally or in Sydney. As there is no accommodation available at the Leura campus over Christmas, you can find short-term accommodation nearby or in Sydney, or go online to Stayz.com.au.

  • What are the accommodation options when studying at Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Adelaide campuses?
    Our Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide campuses do not provide accommodation. If you are new to the country and need help finding housing in Australia, please visit Accommodation.
  • Do I need to wear a uniform?
    Our undergraduate students are expected to follow strict grooming standards on campus. These are documented in the welcome booklet prior to starting your course. For our postgraduate students, corporate business suits are worn to campus.
  • What is the English Language Program (ELP)?
    The English Language Program (ELP) is designed to support students from countries and cultures where English is not their first language. It is an intensive program that will take your English skills to the next level prior to starting their studies at BMIHMS.

  • Do I have to do a placement test?
    After registration and orientation, General English students will take the English Placement Test, before being placed in the appropriate class. Students in other courses who have already been tested will be given their textbooks and introduced to their class.
  • How many weeks can I study a course?

    The maximum course length depends on your visa and current English level. The length of your study program should be chosen according to your needs and goals.

    General English (Elementary to Advanced) courses take 1-40 weeks to complete.

    English for Academic Purposes (Intermediate to Advanced) take 10-30 weeks to complete.

  • How much will my English improve?
    On average, students studying English courses at Torrens University move from one level to the next in approximately 10 weeks. It varies depending on the student, but if you work hard and speak only English while you are here, you should improve quickly.

    To find out more, visit English Language courses.

  • When can I start my English course?
    There are 10 intake dates per year that you can apply for the General English or the English for Academic Purposes courses. For more information, you can download our course guide or email us.
  • Can I do a research degree if I have not previously studied in the field I wish to research?
    As HDR courses are not coursework degrees, applicants will require a background and knowledge in the field in which they wish to conduct research. It is important that applicants can demonstrate they have the capacity for understanding their proposed field of research. Applicants are unlikely to be accepted if they have not demonstrated this capacity, and if their research proposal deviates from previous academic experience.
  • Can I get credits for previously completed subjects?
    No. There is no coursework in HDR degrees which could be credited.
  • Can I study part-time?
    Yes. The Master of Philosophy can be completed in a maximum of four years part time, and the Doctor of Philosophy can be completed in a maximum of six years part time. This would equate to roughly 20 hours commitment a week. Part-time students are not eligible for scholarships.
  • Can someone help me write my Research Proposal?
    No. The Research Proposal is your opportunity to demonstrate that you have the research and critical thinking skills required to complete a HDR. All proposals are submitted for an academic integrity and similarity assessment.
  • Do I have to be on campus?
    No. On-campus spaces are provided to HDR students so they have quiet places to study, but you can choose to study from any location that suits your needs. However, when possible we strongly encourage students to regularly meet with their supervisors face-to-face, and this would involve travel to campus. There is also an expectation that HDR students will contribute to TUA’s vibrant research culture by engaging in on-campus activities and events, regularly attending seminars and collaborating with other TUA researchers and HDR students.
  • Do I have to write a thesis?
    HDR students are required to complete a major project over the course of their candidature which is then submitted for examination. The most common project is a standard narrative thesis of 30,000-80,000 words, depending on the course. However, students also have the option of completing a thesis by publication, or submitting an industry folio or creative work accompanied by an exegesis. For more information on what form your project could take, please see Higher Degree by Research Thesis Guidelines.
  • Do I need a bachelor in order to be eligible for the Doctor of Philosophy?

    In most cases, yes. Not all postgraduate qualifications are weighted the same. Qualifications will be assessed by the admissions team. Students must have a minimum credit average on their previous studies in order to be considered for entry for both the MPhil and PhD.

    For direct entry into a PhD, applicants need to have completed a minimum of 80 credit units of research-related studies or equivalent, and have completed a thesis.

  • Do I need to have research skills?
    Yes. Higher Degrees by Research are not coursework degrees, and unless prescribed by a supervisor coursework is not included in the program. Applicants are expected to have already developed the foundational skills required in their previously completed studies and the HDR will apply and consolidate these skills. If required, supervisors will offer resources to candidates who need additional support, but it is important that applicants are motivated, self-driven and already have a solid foundation to base their research on.
  • Do I need to find a supervisor?
    Supervisors are assigned to students based on expertise and availability. However, we strongly encourage students to review our Research Profiles and reach out to academics to discuss potential supervision and developing the EOI and Research Proposal. You can review Research Profiles and find out more about research at Torrens University.
  • General enquiries?
    If you have any questions that were not covered by the above, please contact us at HDR@torrens.edu.au.
  • How do I apply to a Higher Degrees by Research Scholarship?

    We have a limited number of scholarships available to both domestic and international students, including the Research Training Program Scholarship for domestic applicants. Scholarships are awarded based on merit, and the strength of the research proposal. We offer some partial fee waivers, and these are also assessed on merit.

    For more information on the RTP Scholarship:

    There is no guarantee a scholarship will be offered.

  • How do I know if I am eligible?

    The MPhil has entry criteria of:

    • A relevant honours degree, or
    • A three or four-year bachelor degree (with credit average GPA), or
    • A graduate diploma or masters by coursework (with credit average GPA).

    The PhD has entry criteria of:

    • A master’s degree either by research or by coursework with a substantial element of research work, or
    • A relevant first or second class honours degree.
    • A “substantial element of research work” is a thesis of 15,000 words or more, or the equivalent in research publications. The thesis must contain original research and data collection.

    While the entry criteria lists the minimum requirements, admission into our HDR programs is also dependent upon the quality of the research proposal. International students from countries whose first official language is one other than English must also provide evidence of English Language Proficiency.

  • How long does the application process take?

    The application process typically takes approximately three months, with some applications taking longer. All applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and some will be delayed due to their complexity, or the timeliness of student responsiveness. The high volume of applications we receive can also lead to delays in processing. Please allow ample time for processing and understand that while we endeavour to review and complete applications as quickly as possible, we cannot expedite the process.

    All new applications must be received at least three months before the start of the applicant’s preferred study period. We cannot accept any applications received after the cut-off dates and will not expedite applications for any reason.

    Please be advised that in most cases we are unable to accept offers more than six months in advance, due to changing supervisor availability.

  • How will my progress be measured?
    Students’ progress is measured each trimester by the submission of a Progress Report, which is written by the Principal Supervisor in conjunction with the student. Students who do not progress are required to attend a show-cause meeting, in which they will defend their research and explain how they intend on getting back on track with their studies and completing their project on time.

    Students are also expected to achieve a series of milestones.

    For more information on progress and milestones, please refer to the Research Student Progress Procedure.

  • What can I study?
    Torrens University Australia offers supervision to students studying a Master of Philosophy or Doctor of Philosophy. TUA has supervision expertise in the areas of Business, Health, Design, Education and Information Technology/Artificial Intelligence. TUA is only able to supervise projects in these areas.
  • What is a Higher Degree by Research (HDR)?
    A higher degree by research is focused on undertaking self-directed independent research that contributes to discipline-based knowledge and theory building. A student pursuing a higher degree by research requires core knowledge in a discipline, research skills, self-motivation and drive, the ability to work independently with a supervisor, critical thinking skills and very strong academic writing skills.
  • What is required in a Higher Degree by Research?
    A Higher Degree by Research is an advanced program of study which requires the candidate to conduct independent research into a particular topic in their field, while being guided by a supervisory team. It requires the submission of a thesis comprised entirely of original work and submitted for examination at the end of the student’s candidature. The submitted thesis must demonstrate original and critical thought, contribute to the current body of knowledge in the student’s chosen area, and be clearly and coherently written.
  • What is the application process?

    The first step in the application process is to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).

    This document needs to be completed in full. The EOI is an opportunity to show your academic ability, your ability to follow instructions and your attention to detail. Incomplete applications and EOIs will be rejected.

    The EOI needs to be submitted to HDR@torrens.edu.au along with the following supporting documentation:

    • Official and certified copies of all academic transcripts (including course offerings and results) and certificates attained from any and all undergraduate and postgraduate courses completed
    • Proof of citizenship
    • Evidence of English Language Proficiency (if applicable)

    If applying for a PhD:

    • copies of, or links to, any research publications authored by you (in English), and
    • An up-to-date curriculum vitae.

    The EOI is a screening assessment to ascertain:

    • Your level of academic writing
    • Your ability to interrogate literature
    • The alignment of your project area to the targeted projects of TUA
    • Your ability to follow instructions and problem solve, and
    • Your understanding of the current literature and research opportunities.

    When we have received your EOI, your academic eligibility will be assessed first. If you have met the academic criteria for entry, the quality of your EOI will then be assessed based on the criteria listed above.

    Late or incomplete EOIs, including EOIs submitted with insufficient documentation, will not be assessed. If the EOI is approved, we will request a two-page Research Proposal. The Research Proposal should advance on your EOI, further developing your research idea and proposed methodology. To ensure your proposal is of the standard required for entry, we suggest you interrogate the research in your chosen area, ensure your proposal is founded in research and that clear gaps for future research have been identified.

    The strength and quality of your Research Proposal will also be assessed, and supervisor availability will be determined.

    Please be advised that Expressions of Interest and Research Proposals are run through software which identifies similarity rates to other submitted and published work. If your submission returns a high similarity rate, it will not be accepted and we will not review any resubmissions.

    Applications can be rejected at any stage during the application process for a variety of reasons, ranging from not meeting the entry requirements, to the university being unable to supervise the project. Please be assured all efforts are made to carefully review and accommodate all applications.

  • What is the time commitment for a Higher Degree by Research?
    A full-time HDR course requires a 40-hour commitment each week. HDR students are entitled to four weeks of annual leave, and can apply for 12 months of additional leave due to exceptional circumstances such as illness or injury. Although the academic year at Torrens is divided into three trimesters, HDR students do not have trimester breaks and are expected to work consistently throughout the year.

  • What are Torrens University Australia’s courses’ ATAR requirements?
    Torrens University Australia no longer considers ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) as our primary entry requirement. We have removed ATAR as the key admissions criteria for applicants aiming to study at Torrens University Australia. We strongly believed an alternative to the ATAR system should be found, which more broadly assesses students, especially when soft skills are emerging as important employability attributes. So, students with a recent secondary school education are now considered for admission if they have a Year 12 (Australian secondary school) certificate.
  • Can I get course credit for previous experience?

    Yes, course credit is available upon application and academic approval.

    If you have already completed a qualification or have relevant work experience, you may be able to receive credits towards your degree. This credit can take the form of credit transfer, block credit or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

    Our Program Directors will carefully review the learning gained from your previous qualification and/or experience to ensure we provide you with credit towards our degrees whenever appropriate. Review our course credits page or chat to one of Future Student Advisors.

  • What are course credits?

    Course credits are credits that can be applied to your course based on your prior experience or qualifications. To find out more, visit course credits.

  • How is wellbeing measured?

    Wellbeing is so important that it is measured by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS), among others. In its survey, the ONS asks these subjective questions: How satisfied are you with your life nowadays? How happy did you feel yesterday? How anxious did you feel yesterday? To what extent do you feel the things you do in your life are worthwhile?

    The OECD Framework for Measuring Wellbeing and Progress takes objective measurements in three areas: material conditions; quality of life; and sustaining wellbeing for the future. As well as subjective and objective measurements, a third category is the ‘preference-based approach’. Proposed by French economist Marc Fleurbaey, it assesses the values individuals place on the non-income aspects of their lives to measure what creates a high level of wellbeing. When measuring wellbeing, the results are not predictable: affluent groups can register low levels, for example, while some people in unfavourable conditions can have a strong sense of wellbeing.

  • What is wellbeing?

    Wellbeing is when you feel healthy within yourself and you’re satisfied with your life. It’s a combination of being healthy mentally and physically, reaching your full potential, living according to your values, and finding happiness through what you do each day.

    What creates a state of wellbeing is different for everyone. For some it comes from their spiritual beliefs; for others, it could spring from their good relationships with their partner and friends. Some people might not have great physical health but still feel fulfilled intellectually, economically and socially, so they have a strong feeling of wellbeing.

    Everything that contributes to your wellbeing is interrelated. Your optimistic outlook, healthy self-esteem and ability to adapt to change can work together to maintain your sense of wellbeing even when life throws obstacles in your way. Wellbeing is your own state of feeling happy, of having a purpose and truly feeling well.

  • Why is wellbeing important?

    Wellbeing has an impact on your overall health, your attitude towards yourself and how you interact with others. It’s an essential aspect of good mental health, which is so important to combat stress and anxiety.

    Your wellbeing has an impact on everything you do. Many studies undertaken in Australia and overseas show a strong link between wellbeing and academic performance. Yu, Shek and Zhu write that ‘personal wellbeing such as interpersonal confidence, social and emotional skills, and self-esteem were associated with better adjustment and learning achievement’.

    The Australian Government organisation Comcare, exploring wellbeing in the workplace, found ‘that successful health and wellbeing programs provide an excellent return on investment… on average programs decrease sick leave absenteeism by 25.3%’. Wellbeing can improve our daily lives and it can be improved upon too, so you can always reach new goals. Lu Yu, Daniel T.L. Shek and Xiaoqin Zhu, ‘Influence of Personal Well-Being on Learning Achievement in University Students Over Time’, Frontiers in Psychology, 9 January 2018, accessed at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5767243/
