Doctor of Philosophy Integrated (Sciences)

Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00102E

The Doctor of Philosophy Integrated (Sciences) is a four-year research degree which incorporates a traditional three-year PhD thesis with one year of coursework subjects, combining generic research training and discipline-specific content into a single degree. The research component is the same as for the three-year PhD program and leads to the production of a written thesis. Each PhD candidate has two supervisors.

Structure

The coursework, which is undertaken in the first year of the degree, comprises research training skills and individual coursework subjects.

Subjects

• Research skills are tailored for each faculty, but typically include research methodology
• literature review, critical analysis, or laboratory projects
• and advanced topics or a minor research project.

Standard entry requirements

• All applicants for research degrees must submit a written (preferably typed) proposal as part of their application. This proposal should: commence with a statement detailing any previous research or project experience you have undertaken, including if possible a copy of the abstract of such work
• Contain, in no more than one additional page, a clearly focussed research proposal for the study you would wish to undertake throughout your registration in the course
• And conclude with a statement of your motivation for wanting to undertake the research course. Students are advised to make contact with a potential supervisor to discuss their project prior to applying for admission.
