Yes, because the majority of the universities in Australia offering PhD programs demand that the applicant must have some sort of research component, such as a thesis or research project, in their master’s degree. Some colleges could provide you with the opportunity to do a research project or coursework in order to satisfy this criterion if your master’s degree does not include a research component.
In Australia, after earning a master’s degree through coursework, it is possible to pursue a PhD. Nevertheless, depending on the university and the particular PhD programme you are interested in, the prerequisites and qualifying criteria may change.
