Case of non-research Master not accepted for Phd study at OZ Universities

[ss20ts]

Every school has its own policies on what is acceptable when applying to doctorate programs. Both of the degrees mentioned are often times considered to be business degrees which don't usually have the same amount or type of research as the humanities and social sciences have. PhD programs aren't designed to be easy to get into. They don't accept everyone who applies. I'm already researching doctorate programs and even those that aren't PhD programs are selective at most schools. There are programs with openings for 5 new students. 5! If less than 5 apply that doesn't mean that you're automatically accepted. It's not easy to get into most of these programs. They want the best and brightest....those who can provide the best research. Research is what a Phd is all about.

We see tons of people on here say they don't to write any papers for their bachelor's degree. There are people who do not want to write papers in master's programs. It's pretty much a guarantee that you'll be writing a lot of papers in grad school. Grad school is about applying the theories you learned as an undergrad. Doctorate programs are all writing. The dissertation is no joke. It's like writing a research book. Think of how many people on here don't want to write papers. I've seen a few posts on social media of people wanting a doctorate but don't want to write papers. I'm not even sure how you'd complete a doctorate without writing any papers. Schools weed those people out as they are looking for researchers not test takers.
