The 24 unit sub-thesis is a requirement of the Master of Arts (Military Studies) and is a 15,000 word piece of independent research on a subject chosen by the student and approved by the delegated authority. The sub-thesis gives students an opportunity to develop their research skills and produce a piece of written research which contributes to the body of knowledge in the field of Military Studies. Students are encouraged to seek out topics which are of central research interest to staff in the SDSC. Students wishing to leave open the possibility of further research work or doctoral study are strongly encouraged to undertake the sub-thesis and complete the MA(MS) degree. Students are assigned a supervisor at the outset of their research, who will normally be from the SDSC.

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.
