A postgraduate research degree provides a unique opportunity to pursue your scholarly interests and extend your understanding of a subject area. Supported by an expert supervisory team, you'll develop advanced analytical, project management and communication skills, as well as the ability to work independently on complex problems. The PhD is a program of independent, supervised research assessed by examination of the thesis. This includes an oral examination (viva voce) and, for some doctorates, may include a creative component. The work presented for a PhD must be a substantial and original contribution to scholarship, demonstrating mastery of the subject and advancing the field of knowledge.<br><br>The PhD comprises an independent, supervised research project mutually agreed upon by a student, supervisor, head of school and the Board of the Graduate Research School. It may be undertaken in any school in the University. The PhD requires the development and implementation of a rigorous research plan, based on a comprehensive understanding of the relevant literature and the need for answers to questions posed in that literature or as the result of a new theory. The thesis demonstrates a student's ability to document and interpret results, formulate theories and discuss the results in light of the current literature to a high level of competence. Each student's PhD experience is different because each student undertakes a unique course tailored to their interests and needs. All students undertake research that is assessed in the form of a thesis. Students may also undertake taught courses, industry placements and other developmental activities. Many students choose to spend part of their candidature undertaking research interstate or overseas.
