Program outline
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a program of supervised research and study
leading to the submission of a thesis which makes a significant original
contribution to knowledge.
The program is governed by the Rules for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
which provide details regarding all aspects of admission, progression, submission
and examination of the thesis. Consultation with the Associate Dean (Research)
in the appropriate faculty will assist applicants to determine eligibility for
admission, to identify the proposed areas of research and to ascertain the
availability of suitable supervisors.
Program structure
To complete the program, a candidate will normally study for an expected
period of 3 years (full-time) or 5 years (part-time). New candidates may enrol
at any time of year and continuing candidates will be re-enrolled at the
beginning of each academic year. The courses in which PhD candidates enrol are
ungraded.
Discipline-specific course codes are allocated according to the faculty and
discipline in which the candidate is undertaking their research. Within each
course code, provision is made to identify the mode of attendance as full-time,
or part-time. Mode of attendance shall be determined at admission or re-enrolment.
Candidates who may be required to complete prescribed courses will be enrolled
in a separate program (CP20).
