Doctor of Philosophy

This interdisciplinary doctoral course consists of the preparation of a research proposal, the conduct of research, the preparation of a thesis, and participation in seminars and conferences.

Although formal coursework is not a stipulated part of requirements, coursework may be required and will be assigned by the School on an individual basis.

The interdisciplinary approach recognises that solutions to problems often rely on knowledge gained across traditional disciplines.

In the selection of fields of research, students are encouraged to examine the broad perspective within which the problem lies and to adopt problem-solving techniques applicable across disciplines. Studies will be undertaken by research and thesis presentation.

Admission requirements

In addition to minimum requirements, the following is required:

A master degree or an honours degree (First Class or Second Class, Division A) or the equivalent in a relevant field from a recognised university.
