The School of Commerce supports various methodological approaches including survey, statistical, case study, historical and qualitative field research. Each student works independently on a major research project under the supervision of one or two academic staff with relevant expertise. This research culminates in a major thesis which is examined by two national or international examiners appointed by the University of Adelaide. The School maintains a small group of full-time and part-time postgraduate research students who receive close personal supervision and are encouraged to integrate with School academic staff in the general life of the School.
